We all have eaten gajar ka , matar ka, sooji ka, ghiya ka , ande ka and many more halwa in our lives but how about trying some Gosht halwa. This dish that finds its root in rich Halwa Rampur in UP is actually a dessert made of meat. Goshta ka Halwa- a rich thick dessert that Is made with thickened milk (don’t mix it with condensed milk) and sugar is almost like an ancient lost and forgotten recipe. In this delectable melt in a mouth sweet dish taste depends on the quality of the pounded tender lamb and how well it has been cooked for hours. Osama says “We recreated this dish with the help of our taste memory and little the literature available in some of the ancient Persian texts”. This sweetmeat - a non veg dessert is surely a heritage delight.
