Jauzi Halwa is a heavenly sweet dish from Hyderabad. Unlike the other halwas, which are made with semolina or wheat, this dish includes a rare spice – jauzi or nutmeg. Jauzi Ka Halwa was once served in the courts of Nizams and was made exclusively on special occasions or festive gatherings.
As Vizagites, we can’t help but yearn for these Hyderabadi delights, whose undeniable charm ensures they remain in the hearts of both cities’ food lovers. Until these mouth-watering desserts grace the streets of Visakhapatnam, grab an opportunity and savour a slice of their culinary paradise the next time you visit Hyderabad.
