It is a specialty of the cities of Karachi and southern region of Pakistani Punjab including Multan and Dera Ghazi Khan. The most known Halwa is in city of Multan. It is made by boiling a mixture of water, sugar, milk and cornflour until it becomes solid. Saffron is used for flavoring. Ghee is used to prevent it from sticking to the pan. Almonds, pistachios and cardamom seeds are added. Sohan has been commercially produced by traditional confectioners for decades. It is brittle and caramel in color. It is usually made into disks of 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) thickness or as square bite-size pieces. It is usually packaged in intricately designed tin cylinders.
