I am a big fan of creating recipes out of leftovers I have in my kitchen, I have shared a couple of recipes that were created to utilize things that were not going to be used for a long time.
Corn Flour halwa is one such recipe which I created to use the cornflour and I frankly did not have any other container to store it for later, so I decided to prepare this halwa.
At first, it may sound a bit weird that you can make something like this from Corn flour but yes you can do and it delicious as well. That’s what my siblings told me when presented this halwa to them.
It is has a bit jelly like texture and feels the same. So, it may satisfy your sudden urge consume jelly if you like them.
