Khas khas halwa recipe, Poppy seeds halwa

Khas khas halwa/ Poppy seeds halwa is a very aromatic, nutritional and delicious halwa that is very different in taste and making as well. I have earlier posted quinoa halwa recipe long time back so this halwa us also prepared in the way where I skipped only the milk portion. My mom makes excellent khas khas halwa which will be over in a day, so keeping her in mind I prepared and it turned out to be a finger licking one. This halwa can be prepared in jiffy and does not involve much of stirring and spluttering like other halwa. So try making this delicious and lip smacking halwa for any festival or special occasion. So let’s get to the making!
