U need to add atleast 4 tbsp ghee while making the halwa and the halwa should not thicken too much- like thick dark Idli batter.It happens within 25-30 mins of the dish.Otherwise the halwa becomes sticky and harder.

Dates are said to be rich in Iron.U can do this recipe without adding the milk powder.The second part of the first Step should be : Take a pan and add 1/2 litre milk and bring it to boil.
