  1. use whole milk instead of water ... it tastes 'yummier' :)

    One can make suzi halwa with different fruits - i make one with bananas - an all time favourite - add chopped bananas just before you switch off the gas ... serve after 5-10 mins inorder to get the flavour of bananas. Apple / Chikoo can be used similarly.

    For mango based suzi halwa - add fresh mango juice immediately after you have added milk / water.
