Singhara Halwa | Navratri Vrat Recipes


Singhara Halwa | Navratri Vrat RecipesIt's time of Navratri again and it's called Vasanta Navratri in spring season (Mar-Apr) also known as Chaitra Navratri and this year Vasant Navratra is from 11th April to 19th April 2013.  Though all people doesn't observe fast during chaitra navratri but some people do that.  I prepared this Singhara Halwa during last year navratra but didn't manage to post and now I got a good opportunity to use these pictures.
Singhara halwa is very simple yet delicious halwa recipe prepared specially during fasting (vrat).  You can see one side of halwa looks plain I kept it like that to show you guys normally the halwa will become like this and we just need to stir and break in pieces before eating as you see in the major part.  It taste best eaten hot/warm so eat it right away after you prepare this.
