For a richer flavor, brown the besan slightly longer, but be careful not to burn it. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference. You can also substitute with jaggery or brown sugar. Adding a pinch of saffron threads soaked in warm milk will enhance the aroma and color of the halwa. Garnish with chopped almonds, pistachios, or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of elegance. The halwa can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
