    Dimer Halwa, or Egg Halwa, is a delicious Indian sweet, a type of Halwa made with eggs. It's a treasured family recipe from my Bengali Muslim in-laws, and some people also call it Aanda Halwa.

    "Yours is good, but Mom's is better!" Mehebub mumbled as he ate the Dimer Halwa I had made.

    "You mean the best Dimer Halwa in the world?" I teased, smiling.

    "Exactly! Dimer Halwa reminds me of my childhood," he replied. "Growing up at Ramakrishna Mission, I'd wait for Mom to visit with a tiffin box full of it! We'd eat it together while I told her about my week. She took a two-hour bus ride every week just to see me! And when I was at Jadavpur University, coming home for vacation always meant enjoying this blissful Halwa. Yes, she makes the world's best!"

    %Egg Halwa

    I first tasted this dish at my in-laws' house and have never quite been able to make it as good! Truthfully, she does make it better than me. But don't imagine some overly sweet, lovey-dovey relationship between us! We're a typical mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

    We're never quite happy with each other, and we're both definitely not thrilled with how the man we share acts. Still, I really appreciate her, especially her amazing cooking. I think she feels the same way about me.

    I was shocked when I found out my in-laws make halwa with eggs! My first thought was, "No way am I eating that!" I wasn't excited to try this egg halwa at all. I mean, egg halwa? How could that even taste good? Wouldn't it smell like eggs? Why not just make an omelet or scrambled eggs instead?

    My first impression of Aande ka halwa!

    %Ande ka Halwa

    But then I took a bite, and immediately asked for more. I just kept eating it! I guess this is one of the cool things about marrying someone from a different religion. You get to discover the beauty of their traditions, food, and culture. This Egg Halwa, a treasured family recipe, is something I learned from my mother-in-law!

    FAQ

    %Dimer Halwa Debjanir Rannaghar
    What is Egg Halwa?

    Dimer Halwa, also known as Egg Halwa or Ande ka Halwa, is a much-loved non-vegetarian sweet dish. It's a signature recipe of my mother-in-law, and my husband is convinced that she makes the best Dimer Halwa in the world! I'm inclined to agree, especially when it comes to this particular treat. I always follow her recipe closely because I'm also a huge fan. This halwa is a must-have for "Shab e Barat" and during Ramadan for our iftar meals. While my mother-in-law prepares a variety of halwa for these occasions, including Dimer Halwa, I opted to make just one—the most delicious one, Dimer Halwa, of course!

    Get Recipe Ingredients

    Instructions

    • Beat eggs properly along with powdered sugar till eggs turn creamy.
    • Add a few drops of food color to the egg mixture.
    • Take 1 Tbsp. of warm milk and add saffron strands.
    • Make a powder of the Cardamoms.
    • Boil milk and reduce it to ⅔ of the original quantity and add Egg mixture.
    • Now add Ghee, Dry fruits, Saffron milk, and cardamom powder and stir continuously till the entire thing starts forming small granules.
    • Cook on a low flame with continuous stirring until the entire liquid evaporates and the ghee separates from the Halwa.
    • Remove from flame and serve it with your choice of Bread or serve it as it is.

    Notes

    • You may increase or decrease the amount of ghee based on the requirement.
    • Instead of full-fat milk, you can use skimmed milk.
    • Sugar proportion can also be increased or decreased.
    • You may skip the food color.
    • I prefer to use whole dry fruits instead of chopped dry fruits. You may use chopped dry fruits as well.
    • To make the Halwa richer, you may add some Mawa/ condensed milk as well.
