The green dessert green Halawa.

Hello, food lovers and community all friends greetings. Today my post for Hive account@foodiesbeehive host @sirenahippie.Who announced the contest a green dessert This time. Actually, I am not a fan of artificial colors so I make my own natural colors using fruits, vegetables, or spices. I regularly make different green savory dishes, but making a green dessert is a new challenge. So I tried it, based on making different halwa in our festivals. but all different ingredients and utensils which I don't have here. I used my creativity to make it with available ingredients and my ideas to make DIY colors. To reduce the spinach effect I used aromatic spices. There is very common to make this kind of thing in India. I come to this recipe just for fun and enjoyment.
