| Ingredients: Wintermelon / white pumpkin - 2 cups ( grated) | |
| Sugar, 1 cup ( reduce or increase as sweetness needed) | |
| Ghee, clarified butter - 2 tbsp | |
| Cardamom powder, 2 pinch | |
| Nutmeg powder, 1 pinch(optional) | |
| Milk, 1 cup | |
| Food color, a pinch | |
Cashewnuts and raisins - few each
Can use sugarless khova and make this a richer halwa.
Instructions:
1. Scrape the rind and remove seeds from the pumpkin. Grate them and then squeeze out the water( do not discard). Save it for later use.
2. Heat ghee in a pan and fry cashewnuts and raisins. Remove and keep aside. To the same ghee add grated pumpkin. Saute in medium flame for 3 - 4 minutes. Next add the saved water and cook till the water evaporates.
3.Add milk and cook till the pumpkins are soft. Also add food color. Next add sugar. Keep stirring now and then and cook till you get halwa/thick consistency.
4. Finally add cardamom powder, nutmeg powder and the fried cashewnuts and raisins.
If using khova then can skip milk and add khova before adding sugar.Add extra water to cook the pumpkin. It will give a nice richer taste.
