                                                             Kashi halwa is very tasty and is considered as very healthy halwa. I have never tasted ash gourd before, when I got to know about Kashi halwa I was very eager to try this recipe. When I finished making and tasted I was very impressed. The taste and texture of the halwa are so perfect and now it has become one of my favorite recipes.
