Ingredients
- 200 gm pumpkin grated
- ⅓ cup sugar Can reduce it or increase
- 2 tablespoon milk optional
- 0.75 tablespoon ghee desi variety
- 5 small cardamom
- few dried fruit optional
Instructions
- Take Pumpkin and peel and wash under tap.
- Chop into large chunks so that it can be easily grated.
- Once grated, it would leave some water. That water helps in cooking, so I dont drain it.
- Take a pan and add desi ghee to it.
- Add grated pumpkin to it.
- It would leave water. You may cover it with lid. Put the burner on simmer. Keep sauteing in between. It takes around 5-10 min max for pumpkin to become tender.
- Add sugar and mix well.
- Sugar leaves water. Let the water evaporate. and add milk
- Cook it till milk is absorbed and leaves ghee.
- Add ground cardamom and cinnamon. Cook for 10 sec. Switch off the flame.
- The amazing and delicious Pumpkin halwa is ready!!. Enjoy!!
Notes
- This halwa is made in kadai/wok and you need to be very careful that it doesn’t stick to the bottom of it. Keep stirring in between.
- Roasting raw pumpkin leave water naturally and there is nothing to worry. Keep cooking on slow flame and gradually the pumpkin would be cooked in that water.
- I have always made halwa by roasting in ghee. Though it takes longer to roast but the taste is incredible. Will recommend not to hasten the process of cooking.
- If you are making pumpkin halwa in pressure cooker, make sure to add less water as pumpkin would leave water too
