Kashi Halwa / Ash gourd halva

Kashi Halwa/ Pumpkin Halwa is recommended from my side. I request you to try it. This is easier, requires very few ingredients, and tastier. And do tell me how was it.

Ingredients: (1 cup = 250 ml)

Pumpkin-  after grating 2 cups.

Sugar- 1.5 cups,

Ghee- 2 teaspoons,

Cashew-nuts/almonds few.

Cardamom-3

Salt - a pinch.

Method:

Step 1. Peel and remove the seeds of the pumpkin. Grate it making thicker pieces.

Exactly two cups of pumpkin!:)

Step 2. In a vessel, add 1/4 cup of water and add grated pumpkin. Cook in low flame till water evaporates. Closing the lid makes it quicker. (This step takes around 10-15 minutes).

Step 3. Add 2 teaspoons of ghee and stir for 2-3 minutes (Low flame).

Step 4. Add sugar and stir occasionally till it gets thicker in consistency. (Low flame)

Step 5. Add cardamom powder and stir. Add almond/cashew-nut pieces. (Low flame)

Step 6. Enjoy!

Tips:

• Add a pinch of salt along with sugar
• Don't use milk instead of water. Once I used milk and milk turned into paneer :)
