Apple Halwa Pie– This mini apple halwa pie is an exotic combination of Indian and Western cuisine that will make you go gaga over it.
Mini Apple Halwa Pie came out just amazing and flavorful and it was just perfect to satisfy the sudden sweet cravings. It’s been six months since I did a new post here on my space. I know I have been away from the blog and social media for too long. Some of you guys know the reason while others not but let’s not discuss that today.
Frankly, it took me a lot of efforts and push from the family to get back to blogging again and I chose today 10th Jan to start again. Like today, my blog turned six and it’s the sixth blogversary it felt like a fine day to start again.
This week for blogging marathon I am doing the theme Master Chef Australia recipes and picked three recipes from that show. The idea behind the theme is to recreate Masterchef recipe and post them.
When I picked the theme I had no idea what it was, so when I tried opening the link for the same guess what, it won’t open. Somehow the Tenplay is not available to play in our part of the world and for the sale reason, I wasn’t able to open it.
So I had to ask a friend for her help, she sent me a few random recipes from the site from which I picked this Apple Halva Pie. Of course, It wasn’t an easy task as I already told her the clauses of looking for no egg no meat or fish recipes.
Gladly she did a good job and sent me some of the nicest and doable recipe ideas and I am so thankful to her for the same.
Here are some of the Halwa recipes to try
