Semolina and Milk Halva

Serves 6

This halva recipe was given to me by my husband’s cousin who lives in Dearborn, Michigan. I actually saw her making it and when I saw how easy it was, I just had to share it with you. It is perfect for a Pakistani weekend brunch for which I will be sharing more recipes soon
