Can you believe it? Halwa for under 100 calories. Carrot halwa is an extremely popular Indian dessert. It is traditionally made using ghee and powdered milk or cream. Not very figure friendly. Not only is my recipe low calorie, it is gluten free and low fat. Although this snack is very nutritious it is also high in carbs. It is a great choice for a post-workout snack with a protein shake.
This is actually a very healthy dish. Let me know what you think.
