Frankly, the shops selling local sweets have disappointed me in my quest for sugar-free items. It all started some decades back when I was warned by my physician that my blood sugar is reaching dangerous heights and I should either stop the intake of sugar or start on some medicine to control the situation.

As someone who takes health issues seriously and tries to avoid unnecessary intake of medicines I stopped the intake of sugar in any form immediately and had the situation under control. This of course did not stop my craving for sweets in some form or the other and my search turned to sugar-free sweets and specially the items available in the form of halwa. I got lucky on and off but I have yet to find a steady source of sugar-free halwas of my choice. Yes they are available but not necessarily in the flavours of my choice.

This made me turn to the various caterers. This might surprise you and you will be wondering what has........
