Besan Halwa is a sweet dish made of Gram Flour. It is not only a sweet delicacy but also a very healthy dessert & is used to treat cold and cough for kids and adults too. My baby is suffering from a bad cold and cough and it’s very tough with kids because you can’t give them too many medicines. So this is a simple home remedy that really works. Its slightly liquid form is used to cure cough and cold in winters (add another cup of water to make a liquid sheer).
Preparing this recipe requires constant stirring of the gram flour for accurate roasting. So make sure you make it when you have enough leisure time to stand in the kitchen. Also, it is very important to maintain the ratio of different ingredients used else it won’t give you that flavor and consistency.
Let’s see how we make it.

I love halva so much, yours looks delicious! We used to make birthday cakes for our daughters by stacking layers of different halvas on top of each other. Nice work chef!
