Sohan Halwa (Hindi: सोहन हलवा; Urdu سوہن حلوہ; (:ˈsoːɦən ˈɦəlʋaː)) or Multani Sohan Halwa is a traditional dessert in India and Pakistan, which is a variety of dense, sweet confection or halwa and believed to be Persian in origin. In India Ghantewala Halwai is popular for Sohan Halwa since the Mughal era. It is made by boiling a mixture of water, sugar, milk, and cornflour until it becomes solid. Saffron is used for flavoring. Ghee is used to prevent it from sticking to the pan. Almonds, pistachios and cardamom seeds are added. Unlike most other halwa dishes in the subcontinent, it is solid. ==History== The Hafiz Halwa shop in Multan claims it was invented by Dewan Sawan Mal, the ruler of Multan in 1750.〔http://www.hafizhalwa.com Hafiz Ka Multani Sohan Halwa〕 S. Abdul Khaliq claim that this halwa was introduced in the sub-continent in the early 16th century when Mughal emperor Humayun (r. 1530–1540, 1555–1556) came back to power in India after being exiled in Persia. He called for the makers of this halwa from Persia and the ancestors of modern-day S.Abdul Khaliq were the official halwa makers for the Mughal rulers for 300 years. S.Abdul Khaliq also have the term, "Shahi Halwa Sohan Merchants" as part of their branding. In Old Delhi, the 225-year-old Ghantewala sweet shop established during the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II, (r. 1759 - 1806) in 1790, made Sohan Halwa, and remained a popular visitors attraction〔(Ghantewala in Delhi ) Lonely Planet〕〔(The royal treat in Chandni Chowk ) ''The Hindu'', Nov 07, 2002. 〕 till its closure due to a lack of profitability hit the news July 23, 2015.〔(Ghantewala: Why did Delhi's 'oldest sweet shop' shut down? )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sohan Halwa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
