Wondering why a traditional sweet recipe now? Ofcourse there is no reason required to have a sweet, but I tried this recipe on Diwali day and got time to post just now!!
Kasi halwa is made with white pumpkin and is a traditional sweet that is served along with the grand breakfast during weddings and other family functions. It is pretty simple to make, do try it out and let me know how it turned out to be :)
Recipe source: Jeyashri's Kitchen
INGREDIENTS:
- White pumpkin - 2 cups, grated
- Sugar - 3/4th cup
- Ghee - 3 tablespoons
- Cashewnuts - a few
- Cardamom powder - a pinch
- Orange food color - a pinch
METHOD:
- Grate the pumpkin. Slightly squeeze the water that is let out from the pumpkin. Do not overdo it
- Heat a tablespoon of ghee in a pan and fry the cashewnuts. Keep aside
- In the same pan, fry the grated pumpkin. Cook on a low flame, till the pumpkin is cooked well (About 15 minutes). The pumpkin has to become soft
- Add sugar and food color at this stage. After adding sugar, the mixture will again become watery. Cook on a medium flame, adding ghee in intervals, till the halwa leaves the sides of the pan
- Add cardamom powder and mix well
- Remove from heat, garnish with fried cashew nuts and serve warm
- You can also refrigerate it for 2 days, after it is completely cooled
