- Halwa is a beloved Middle Eastern confection found across the world, but recipes vary from region to region. At the famous sweet shop Chain Ji Halwa Wala in Rajasthan, India, gulab halwa is made by hand with just milk and sugar. Every day, a team of chefs spends over 12 hours cooking three batches that each weigh about 250 kilograms - and all of that gets sold.
We visited the shop to see why it's so famous and how it prepares gulab halwa in such big batches.

How 700 Kg Of Gulab Halwa Is Handmade Every Day | Big Batches | Food Insider
I've seen many forms of halva but this is totally unique in its consistency. The forms i have tried were sliceable.
Halwa in the subcontinent is different. It can be made with semolina, reduced milk, almonds, eggs, bottle gourd, etc. The middle eastern versions are usually made with tahini and are sliceable.
@@el-sid thank you very much for this information. I want to make some of this 😊
@@el-sid even kerala’s kozhikodan halwa is sliceable and it has Arabian influences I believe .But the flavors are so local
You been eating the fake shit
@@YoungBideo you apparently are only familiar with a few types then. I encourage you to look up different types. You might be surprised!
Pali is my hometown and I can bet the taste is really amazing. I agree the workers should be given some safety equipments. Thank you for covering this.
ये कहाँ पड़ता है भाई??
@@pradeepsangal1665 Pali is around 70km from Jodhpur in Rajasthan state.
does it taste salty due to all the sweat of workers
Pali me kya hai bhai!?
@@logicsandtrolls3616 🤣
Stirring boiling milk for so long that butter simply separates and can be collected is a feat.
Similar to how "Dulce de leche" (not cajeta, never confuse those two) is made in Mexico.
I confused the two I’m sorry 😔
its available on carnival
Dulce de leche is completely different thing, this halwa is grainy, Dulce de leche is smooth
@@आशीषसाहू-ख1ल There's grainy Dulce de Leche. It is the more common I eat.
the way she is saying halwa is triggering me
Ikr. Like tadpoles jammed up her nostrils.
The least she could do is do her homework and learn to pronounce halwa properly from the internet.
For Real
Don't trigger too much...!😲
That’s not her mother tongue language. Do not trigger to much, pathetic.
😂😂😂😂 i stopped the video after listening to that alwaa
I had the carrot version in old Delhi a couple of years ago. It was like nothing I’d ever eaten before. Went back for more 3 days in a row.
Old??
@@beans6013 Yes. That’s what it’s called.
@@beans6013 New Delhi is part of Delhi built by the British Colonizers and Old Delhi is the older settlement which exists since the medieval period
We call that sweet 'GAJAR PAK' or GAJAR HALWA. Quite famous in rajasthan. At our home we eat this sweet throughout whole winter and easy to make at home.
@@SunilKumar-vf1yd Exactly! Mein bhi Rajasthan se hu.
I tried making this at home, it looks same but taste was completely different. They're using full cream buffalo milk
👆👆The first 2o people that we message me will have gift 🎁 on telegram 🎁🎁🎉...
Did you use condensed milk?
there is another dish made in a similar way (just not cooked for as long). when i tried to make that by myself, i tried for an hour with a small pan and still couldn't get the results! respect to the people making this!
At 2-3 hours
Im a filipino and i like halwa i remember my indian doctor told me to try and i like it the best partner with chai or karak tea 🥰
This is not exactly halwa..this is called Kalakand and is famous sweet from Alwar (another city in Rajasthan)
Halwa usually is made from Wheat Flour, sugar and dry fruits, and is a common offering in religious ceremonies locally called as "Prasad".
No my dear friend for kalakand you have to break the milk with some acidic stuff while the milk is in right consistency and reduce it by boiling. In Bengal this stuff is called chachhi.
Bro u have narrow definition of halwa
Anything sweet is called as Halwa by people mostly from outside India
@@saptarshimandal7278 May be you are talking about that specific dish from Bengal, but kalakand bole to milk cake is exactly prepared the way how they are preparing that halwa. We don't use any chemical or break the milk in kalakand making process.
This is called theritipal in Tamil..it's one of the sweet made during marriages
Claudia is a great presenter. The skills involved in preparing large amounts like this should not be underestimated. The workers should be proud of their work.
What great presenter .She cannot even pronounce the word Halwa proper as hal·vuh and not agua.
@@ams6850 what so just because she can’t pronounce some words correctly you think she not a great presenter ? What Do you think everyone can pronounce some words from a foreign language right ? 🤣 like to see you pronounce some Italian words properly 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
@@AlfonsoSancarlo she has been given finite material to work with / present on.
The least Claudia can do is learn to pronounce the FEW foreign words present in the script, either by searching their pronunciation on Google or talking to someone from India over Facebook or any of the myriad social media apps we have in this age.
You know what makes a truly great presenter? Someone who leaves no stone unturned to their maximum capacity to deliver their presentation.
@@brandonpinto5290 idk you shit in the streets so your opinion is discarded
Exactly 💯
big batches really is the mvp of food insider
it has sweat of workers. that why indians love it
Nobody can beat the kalakand from my village in Bharatpur but every place in Rajasthan has its own unique version of kalakand
Which village ?
Thank you Claudia. You consistently bring us the best of the world. More from Italy please : )
Halwa is originated in India from Mahabharat age more than 5,000 yrs of rich history.
Mmmm my mind can taste it thanks !
2:07 correction: woks are similar to kadais, u should know wok was inspired by kadais, kadais existed way before wok, the Chinese stole the idea
Couldn't get over the host pronouncing halwa as agua..
Chainji may be good time to give nice cotton uniforms to your employees
We Desi people are dirty.
seeing cooks wear gloves is like finding a unicorn
Earlier they said he started the business in 2007 but one of the customers said it has been famous for around 35 to 40 years bro is living in future.
Food insider got so good in making those short docs
i bet this owner so rich.. but i hope they can improve kicthen area... it's okay to maintaine tradisional ways.. but we also need to improve the hygiene standard...
That Hindi in Marwadi accent is just funny and amazing at the same time.
Yes, haha you can only get the vibe if you speak the language
Have you guys listened to Northeast Hindi accent? 😬💀
hamara acshont shunega ...
- probably a Bangali
Never imagined India Rajasthani Famous Pali Gulab Halwa to feature on such big platform 🙏🙏🙏
It is called as 'paal khova' in Tamilnadu state of India. You will get it easily in aavin stores all over the state
Kwality has gone down. Whereas Rajasthan milk is too Good
Thiratti paal is the propert Tamil name.
Try to have kerala halwa. It is very special.
ohhh, this dish is very similar to biko in the philippines, did biko originate in india?, here we use sticky rice, coconut milk/cream (we dont really have cows here in the islands), palm sugar, and maybe some spices like anise and what nots. you can add peanuts if you want aswell and other nuts and fragrant spices. like the rest of southeast asia, we were heavily influenced by indian culture a millennia ago. Note: Biko is not necesarrily firm like a rice cake, people cook it differently, my familie's biko is similar to the gulab above, but a tad, like a miniscule bit watery or less frim rather. it depends on who cooks it, where they are from or who influenced them, and their preferences.
Ahhh
Can't say but given the past relation between India and South East Asia..... There might have been exchange of food and desserts as it had been the case with cultural heritage
@Neil Deep halwa is a general term for rice deserts (that originated in persia), i saw some Indians in the comments talking about halwa this, but its actually halwa that, so i thought halwa was a general term, until i researched a bit.
It looks delicious. Wish I could try it.
Would love to try it! Have the Muncies !
Is it similar to milk cake or kalakand an Indian form of cheesecake made from sweetened milk with chopped nuts and, sometimes, saffron and edible silver foil.
Kalakand, also known as milk cake, is a popular Indian dessert.

Very good coverage. But, in my personal opinion, the coal breaking workers should be given safety equipment, so as the chefs who stand in continuously hot area. Also, when the plates are carried across street, at least it should be covered, to prevent dust.
Yes! The process is terrible, so much labor work and of course a ton of pollution
@@lorenzobragonzi9978 Ever wondered why the stuff you buy is affordable while locally produced stuff most of the time isnt? Its mostly because life and work is cheap in 3rd world countries - unpleasant but thats the harsh reality.
lol that dust from cross one side of the shop , is the least of the problems my friend.
I suppose you also want the health department to inspect the kitchen?
V beautiful aauvaaa
Reading previous comments: if you never had it don’t knock it until you try it! It made be the most wonderful sweet treat you’ve ever tasted!
I tried making this at home, it looks same but taste was completely different. They're using full cream buffalo milk.
Is it soupy like in the video or does it kinda harden like candy over time?
Yes baby
@@ecliqsly6585grainy
I love gajar halwa it’s one of best halwa
I’ve toured Rajasthan enough number of times to come to a conclusion that cities like Jaipur, Udaipur etc. have nothing in comparison to the food joints in smaller towns like Pali, Bar, etc.
I’ve had the best Kachori, Ghewar, Gulab Halwa etc. in the smaller towns.
Labor of love and good taste
I am from Pali. This is my hometown babyyyy
The secret ingredient is... the sweat of Indian men.
😆 🤣
India is a hub of foodie heaven place..
👆👆The first 2o people that we message me will have gift 🎁 on telegram 🎁🎁🎉..
wait its just kalakand right? i was expecting an actual halwa with gulab petals lol
This is not kalakand. This is chachhi. If you exclude sugar in chachhi it will be called khoya. For kalakand you have to break the milk while it is in right consistency and reduce is further.
@@saptarshimandal7278 No bro, we don't break the milk to prepare kalakand. It's same as kalakand. You should search the process of alwar kalakand making
Exactly! I am from Rajasthan.
As i travelled across Karnataka i tasted this dish and it was called Kunda and BELGAUM Is called "Kunda Nagar" for it's expertise in This milk sweet
The saltiness of their sweat makes the dish more tastier.
make sure the staff hardwork get paid ✨
Today I learned new way to say halwa that is aaawa
Waah...mera pali internationally famous ho gaya😚🔥
(FYI the roads in Pali is not better.)😩😭
A guy drives over 450 KM just to get something sweet (0:18 - 0:24). Now that is what I call dedication. That is some dedication to...diabetes 😉
So Gulab Halwa is just boiled downed and stirred milk and sugar? Or did I miss something?
The process which makes beautiful and 😋😋
It is, but to get the texture and sweetness correct is a skill.
Gulab halwa 😘😘😘😍😍😍
Very hard warking process 👍❤
👆👆The first 2o people that we message me will have gift 🎁 on telegram 🎁🎁🎉....
Love it! Sweaty Halwa!
Imagine them having to go through so many shops to find this clean one hehehehe
I don't think this can be called "clean"
We usually call this Kalakhand(at least in the Bangalore) not halva but it looks delicious.
wow beautiful
The workers there should be allowed to take more rest... Its very hard work
armpit hairs and dripping sweat is a secret recipe that adds to the flavour. imagine the natural smell
Kitchens are sweaty places anywhere.
You should make a video on tangail chomchom🖤 in Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Sweet and salty from sweat
Can someone pls tell me where is gulab in this halwa?
I only know sunflower halva and this is so much different its hard to see how they are called the same thing!
I like big foody batches
Сюжет Получился Интересным ! Женщин Жаль !
Gulab ji - gulab halwa crying in the corner 🤣🤣
damn., now i feel like having some...
It's called Kunda in Belgaum. Very famous sweet.
👆👆The first 2o people that we message me will have gift 🎁 on telegram 🎁🎁🎉....
I’m so curious what this tastes like, I’ve never eaten anything quite like it before
It tastes like crumbly sugar with a kinda nutty taste
How can we get it without traveling to Pali?
My heart can feel the clogging already. LOL
I lost my train of thought every time she says "halwa" as alvaa.
In arabic the word halwa means sweet. So it did originate in Arabia, specifically in the levantine regions.
Yeah like numerals originated in Arabia not in india
😂😂😂
@@shirokun4742 Arabic numerals originated in India
They forgot to mention one secret ingredient, the sweat from the workers has salt in it, which gives it it's unique flavor.
When the workers change, the flavor varies.
So each time we have this, it has a unique different flavor.
🤮🤮

Gulab Halwa is love ♥️
I like mine with extra "Man Sweat" dripped into it ...
To everyone who sees this comment, keep pushing in life and never give up. Can't wait to see you successful one day and May God bless you!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We have that in our country too. We pronounce like “Ha La Wa”
Halwa originated in Arabia...Right.. a delicacy which is made up of mainly 2 main ingredients, milk and sugar, which are naturally very rare to produce or to procure in the arabian region.. 😂
Whereas there were many regions around Arabia which had abundance of the materials needed to make halwa (India, Persia)...
Just because many things got introduced to the western world through the arabian route, doesn't mean it all was invented there..
👆👆The first 2o people that we message me will have gift 🎁 on telegram 🎁🎁🎉
they even thought arabic numerals were invented in Arabia whereas it was product of India/Persia.
You are right...the word halwa is of Arabic origin and is used for generic sweets in india but the technique, ingredients and taste are quite different to halwa in the middle east.
Western world hates India, they don't want to credit India for anything,so that they could justify their brutal colonialism of 250 years. Most Indians underestimate their hate.
When all ingredients are found in India how on earth did the Arabs give this to us.
There is a limit to propoganda
I'm indian. From the uk. I see woman doing all the hard jobs when i visit india. Working on building sites, carry bricks, even in this video 2 woman are breaking the coal.....but I don't see any human rights comments on here. If qatar did this it would be front page news
Do they sell the clarified butter as well?
what do they do with it?'
In india it is used in cooking food like you use oil
@@rajviryadav1227 but wouldn't this butter be sweet? They scooped it off after they added the sugar.
Delicious Halwa. 🙏
👆👆The first 2o people that we message me will have gift 🎁 on telegram 🎁🎁🎉..
The women should be wearing mask to protect their health.
Hygiene= 100%
Secret ingredient is the arm pit sweat 😋😋
Those who didn’t understand its also called Milkcake!!
Halwa did originate in Arabia! It has its origins in Persia (Iran)
Food hygiene has left the chat.
I know, have to keep telling myself these are different cultures with different standards.
Spot the squealing westerner with a delicate constitution. Being spoiled with western obsessions has made you delicate, fragile and fearful and the amusing thing is if you lectured them on your western notions of “hygiene” they’d look at you like you’re odd. I bet none of the locals get ill eating this, because their gut has the constitution to fight off what would send you, the soft delicate li’l flower, to the toilet for a week.
@@HydroSnips why so salty.
so did the "H"
When something is boiled for several hours all pathogens die. Besides, it's eaten by thousands everyday and no one has died yet.
Claudia as usual is doing a great job, but she is pronouncing halwa wrong.
HYGIENE seems like down to nonexistent! Ick!!!
Halva in România is made with sugar and sunflower seeds !
Why does it look like that? Is the milk cuddling?
After boiling milk for ours and ours the liquid part of the milk is evaporated and milk solids are remained, that is what halwa is.
sometimes all milk needs is a cuddle
I am from pali ❤️❤️❤️
How can we know about the place in NCR where this Halwa is available.
👆👆The first 2o people that we message me will have gift 🎁 on telegram 🎁🎁🎉...
The H in the halwa stands for Hygiene.
Love how Business Insider complains about Carbon emissions in the west but is happy to highlight a dish that claims its food is made better by coals 🤔
H is pronounced in Halwa.
Amazing recipe
Interesting
👆👆The first 2o people that we message me will have gift 🎁 on telegram 🎁🎁🎉
i don’t get why they can’t at least use simple machine to stir the milk, seems like paying 10 guys would be expensive
No. 1 Award for maintaining hygiene
😉
🤢
Am I the only one curious to know what happens to the butter they take out?
They would sell it
May be they sell it separately. 😅
@@shubh3ndu But like it's already after adding sugar ryt? So sweetened butter?
@@tessathomas554 Oh Sorry!! I didn't thought about that,😆😅 Surely!! It will become sweet clarified butter which can't be sold normally😂 but It can used in making other sweet desserts, I guess!!😃🤔😋😁
A team of chefs 😂 they all reminds me of Gordon Ramsey
