Amma: “When growing up in the 1950s, we used to eat this dessert in Mysore at Ananda Bhavan. Our cook who used to work there gave us this recipe. Some people use the same ingredients and make it like a halwa. This dessert which is popular at weddings in India, since it can easily be prepared in large quantities, is called Kashi Halwa.”
