Cuisine Indian
- 2 medium boiled potatoes
- 3 tbsp ghee
- ⅓ cup sugar
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.
- 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.
