Rusk Halwa Recipe- Rusks are pounded and fried in ghee. Then the mixture is cooked in sugar syrup. This dessert is called Bread Halwa and is very popular in Tamil Nadu. It is served in hotels and as part of a wedding feast menu۔
This dessert does not need large quantities of Ghee and oil like most Halwas do۔ Also it does not feel heavy on the stomach۔ Moreover this Tamil Nadu special Halwa can be prepared with less effort and less expenditure۔
Though this dessert is prepared with Rusks, it is called Bread Halwa۔ If you buy Combo Biryani you’ll be given a box of this Bread Halwa alongside the Biryani. I ate this delicious dessert For the first time at a Biryani Center. Later I asked a caterer for the recipe.
I recommend that you try it once!!!
