Bombay Halwa is a very famous sweet dish in India especially Bombay (Mumbai now). As a child, this was my favourite. I can say, its kinda like gummy chocolates i.e., chewy. Its made of corn flour, sugar and clarified butter. Its so easy to make and super tasty. Here, I tried to include a few food colors with the hope it would come out really rainbowy colorful but it didn't really come up exactly like I imagined but still looks good on its own.
Do try it and I am sure you are going to love it. Thank you for reading my post.

- Pour the hot sugar solution slowly little by little and keep mixing.
- Turn on the stove, start pouring the ghee/clarified butter and keep mixing till it forms a smooth silky thick mixture.
- Add the cashews and food color of your choice. I added blue, green, red, orange and yellow food color.
