^ bcos one day there was a little boy called habshi. He was walking past a big pot full of bubbling halwa. He stopped to peer into the pot, and fell in. Then the cook (who was shortsighted) got his hand held blender out and stuck it into the pot, and poor old habshi was obliterated permanently into the pot of halwa.
And that is how habshi halwa got its name. Habshi bechara, he was such a lovely boy...
LOL, Mrs Weasel bechari ka thread barbad kar diya hai!
you know it doesnt bother me at all somehow. i have had a couple threads in support section messed up by some ppz here. even i am surprised to admit it but i had the feeling that the name ' habshi' will be twisted.
RH, i think you might be right about the habshi in the halwa.
any insight about' sohun' halwa or do i have to put the recipe up for you to indulge us.
