Ash Gourd Halwa

Ingredients

  • 300-400 g ash gourd (white pumpkin), peeled, grated
  • 1 cup ghee
  • 10 cashews
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp green cardamom powder

Method

  1. Squeeze the grated ash gourd pulp by hand to remove excess liquid or allow it to sit in a sieve or colander until the juice runs out.
  2. Heat the ghee in a pan; sauté the cashews until golden brown. Remove the cashews with a slotted spoon and keep aside.
  3. To the same ghee, add the grated ash gourd and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Add the sugar and cardamom powder.
  4. Cook, stirring continuously, until the halwa begins to leave the sides of the pan and becomes a homogenous mass. Add the fried cashews and mix well.
  5. Cool and serve.
