Keto people can have this Zucchini Halwa anytime to satisfy their mid-week sugar cravings. I also have a couple of other zucchini recipes on my blog, including Zucchini Sabji and Sambhar. A zucchini dessert was missing, and here I am to amend that. You can also try my Keto Rasmalai and Keto Till Laddoo, these two desserts are really irresistible treats for people having sweet tooth.

Don’t forget to tell me in the comment section your views about the recipe and how you and your family liked it.
