Yesterday my relatives came for lunch. Instead of making payasam
for a change I made Papaya Halwa for a dessert. Halwa in any form is a inviting
and mouthwatering one .The halwa was damn good and my guest eat it first time
and get surprised to know that it's made up of papaya. It gives me much
pleasure. I didn’t add any food color.The papaya itself will give natural color.
