    That sounds real easy ! And i used to think Wheat Halwa was rocket science becz. the old ladies in our family sweated over it for hours, soaking, grinding and extracting the milk from whole wheat and then stirring it forever with sugar....Thank you so much for this !

    I have been given a packet of Halwa by a friend from Kenya. After opening the packet how should I store it and how long will it keep? Ian Graham
