Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium boiled potatoes
  • 3 tbsp ghee
  • cup sugar

Instructions
 

  • Peel and mash the potatoes in a bowl or platter.
  • Now, heat the ghee in a pan or kadai.
  • Add mashed potatoes to it.
  • Now begin to roast the potatoes with a spatula on low to medium heat.
  • Roast it till the potatoes change colour.
  • Then add sugar to it and mix well.
  • When sugar is added, it releases water. Roast it continuously until the potatoes are well absorbed with sugar.
  • When the halwa starts thickening and absorbs all the water, turn off the flame.
  • Serve hot or warm as you like.

Notes

  • Cool down the potatoes before mashing.
  • Mash the potatoes very well, so that no lumps remain.
  • Use desi ghee in a good amount for a richer taste.
  • Slightly roast the nuts in ghee to keep them crunchier.
