Halwa puri bonanza For many of us, Sunday mornings are unimaginable without a good dose of halwa puri (Rs 40). The halwa at this road side stall is made out of semolina and flour, which is flavoured with sugar, ghee, saffron, shaved coconut, cherries and multi-coloured sugary bits that you find in a meetha pan. The halwa is served with hot and oily puris that are so delicious, we have no time to feel guilty. AT: Mandir Masjid, Versova, Andheri West.
