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.
