Ingredients
- 300 g Sweet Potatoes Grated
- 100 g Sugar
- 50 g Ghee Clarified Butter
- 200 ml Milk Full-Fat
- 50 g Khoya Crumbled
- 1 tsp Cardamom Powder
- 50 g Nuts Chopped (Cashews and Almonds)
- 50 g Raisins Optional
Instructions
- Melt the ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the grated sweet potatoes and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and begin to release their moisture.
- Next, pour in the milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir in the sugar and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for another 10 minutes until the sweet potatoes absorb the milk and the mixture thickens.
- Add the crumbled khoya and cardamom powder, mixing well to incorporate. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the halwa to reach a desired consistency.
- Finally, stir in the chopped nuts and raisins, if using. Cook for another 5 minutes before removing the halwa from the heat.
- Serve warm, garnished with additional nuts if desired.
