winter delicacies

Is there anything special you guys make for the winter? In my parents home, there is always besan ka halwa type stuff where you bhoon the besan and add ground nuts, raisins etc. I have also eaten besan laddos at someones house and they were so delicious, i still remember the taste after a year or so. I tried making them like i was told by the host with general measurements (she didnt measure anything, just eyeball) and mine didnt turn out half as good as hers. My inlaws make pinnian with rice or alsi etc.

What if any, do you guys make during the winter months?

Mum makes halwa & pai if that is how you spell it, more often in winter. Also, things like chicken soup, and strange ginger concoctions which only the parents eat!

in my mother house we used to have gajjar halwa, and home made rich pound cake, sometimes she used to make badam, and khash khash ka halwa. I can still taste those things..miss mommy :(
