When I was serving this to MIL and Hubby dear,my lil angel was watching us and kept pointing her tiny finger towards the bowl in hubby's hands.I took a lil bit of halwa and before giving it to lil angel,said aloud,'If u smile when I feed this to you it means its yummm'..And you will never believe what she did!!!She tasted the halwa, smacked her lips and smiled the cutest smile and said 'umm,ummm,ummm'!!!That's the best compliment I ever got !!! :)
