[/url]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.
