Festivals are the best time to celebrate with friends and family. It also the time when you feel like spending more and more time with your family and kids. Considering all the special meals that need to be prepared, we end up spending more time in the kitchen during festivals rather than with friends and family.

Dessert is almost a common recipe that is included in every Indian festival. And if that dessert is made in minutes without much effort then it becomes a must-try recipe. This Bombay halwa recipe that I will be sharing is very simple to prepare and it tastes exactly like the Haldiram Bombay halwa that is almost everyone’s favorite. Now that’s a bonus.

More about Haldiram Bombay Halwa Recipe

It was the occasion of Diwali and I had spent the whole day in the kitchen preparing for the gala dinner for my family and relatives. By the evening I had to perform the puja and then other rituals. That is when I realized there is no dessert on the menu except some ice cream that is in the refrigerator. Serving the guests with ice cream only as a dessert did not sound very good to me. Then I planned of making a quick and yummy dessert with as little effort as possible.

I came up with this improvised Bombay Halwa recipe. With very basic ingredients that were available in my kitchen I prepared this halwa in minutes. I was surprised to see this sweet tasted similar to the Haldiram’s Bombay halwa. It was a great surprise at the Diwali dinner and everyone loved it.
