Kashi halwa/Ash gourd halwa


Ingredients:

Grated ash gourd - 1cup
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder - a pinch
Pinch of Saffron/Kesari
Ghee - 2-3tbsp
Dry fruits(Cashew nuts, Raisins, Almond)
Milk - 2-3tsp


Method:

Cut the ash gourd. Remove the seeds and outer skin.


Grate the ash gourd as shown below.


At this time, put saffron in warm milk and keep it aside.


Transfer the grated ash gourd in to a pan/heavy bottomed vessel and cook until the raw aroma goes away and all the water content is evaporated.


Once the ash gourd is cooked well and all the water content is almost evaporated, add sugar and stir again on medium flame until it gets dried up.


At this time, add saffron milk, and then add ghee little by little. Keep stirring on medium flame until the halwa thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.


Add fried dry fruits and cardamom powder. Mix very well.


Mouth watering Kashi halwa is ready to serve. You can serve it hot/cold.
