halbai recipe | halbai sweet recipe | how to make rice halbai with step by step photo and video recipe. udupi and mangalore region is known for its healthy and tasty delicacy it holds in its cuisine. most of the recipe belongs to the breakfast and snacks but it does have lot of traditional recipes too. one such unique and traditional sweet recipe is halbai recipe or rice halbai halwa made for occasions and festival.

as i mentioned previously, halbai sweet hails from the world famous udupi or south canara cuisine. and it is very popular dessert recipe across the coastal belt. having said that, it would be unfair to call it as a karnataka cuisine recipe. as many non coastal kannadiga’s may not be aware of this recipe. as matter of fact, you may have to develop a taste for this sweet. if you are totally new to this recipe, you may find it bizarre and tasteless. moreover the texture can be skeptical for most of them. even for me, i was not a great fan for this recipe during my childhood. but gradually i have developed a great taste for it and i crave for this recipe whenever i visit my native place.halbai sweet recipe

anyway, some tips, suggestions and variations to this classic rice based halbai recipe. firstly, i have used normal day to day use sona masuri rice to make the rice batter. and i would heavily recommend to use the same and avoid especially basmati rice as it does not yield smooth rice batter. secondly, the recipe uses jaggery for sweetness and using jaggery gives a nice texture and colour to the sweet. however, if you do not have access to it, you can use brown sugar as alternative. lastly, you have to continuously stir and mix the batter and jaggery mixture on a low flame. you may find it tiring, but unfortunately there isn’t any shortcut for this step.
