Dry Fruit Halwa
Yellow Squash & Dry Fruit Mithai
Fine strands of yellow squash cooked into a rich halwa and finished with dry fruits for flavor and texture in every bite.
Made with shredded yellow squash and dry fruits, this halwa has a distinctive strand-like texture that sets it apart from other varieties of Indian halwa.
As the yellow squash cooks down, the strands develop a rich sweetness while the dry fruits add nuttiness and texture throughout.
What is Dry Fruit Halwa?
This style of Dry Fruit Halwa starts with yellow squash cut into fine strands, which forms the base of the sweet.
The squash is cooked into halwa and combined with dry fruits throughout, creating a unique bite where the delicate strands of squash and richer pieces of dry fruit come together.
It’s a great choice for anyone who enjoys Indian sweets with plenty of texture and dry fruit in every piece.
What Makes Ours Different?
The strands are what make it.
Instead of a dense or uniform halwa, the shredded yellow squash gives each piece its signature texture. The dry fruits add richness and nuttiness without taking away from the character of the squash.
Made fresh at Chowpatty, it’s a distinctive halwa with a texture and flavor all its own.
Best Served
Enjoy it at room temperature or hot.
At room temperature, the yellow squash strands and dry fruits have a more defined texture. Served hot, the halwa becomes richer and more comforting, bringing out the sweetness of the squash and nuttiness of the dry fruits.
Both ways offer a completely different way to enjoy the same halwa.

What is Halwa?
Halwa is a traditional Indian dessert made by slowly cooking ingredients such as vegetables, fruits, or dry fruits with ghee and sugar until they develop a rich, concentrated flavor and distinctive texture.
While Gajar Halwa may be the most familiar, halwa can be made in countless varieties across India. This assortment brings together five of our favorites:
Made Fresh in Small Batches
Real ingredients, traditional technique, and no unnecessary fillers.
Each variety is made fresh at Chowpatty in small batches, allowing the individual ingredient — whether carrot, dudhi, beet, chikoo, or dry fruit — to remain the focus of the halwa.
It’s a collection rooted in traditional Indian sweet-making, while also giving you a few varieties you don't see in every mithai shop.
