🍯 What is Bandaru Halwa?

Bandaru Halwa (also called Bandar Halwa or Tenali Halwa) is a traditional Andhra halwa originating from Tenali and Bandar (Machilipatnam) in coastal Andhra Pradesh. Made from wheat flour slow-cooked with ghee and sugar until it becomes dense, translucent, and jewel-like. Unlike North Indian halwas, Bandaru Halwa has a distinctive chewy, almost gel-like texture that is unique to Andhra cuisine.
