Easy to make Pumpkin Halwa



Pumpkin Halwa


Ingredients:
Red Pumpkin Diced into cubes 2cups
Saffron 1/2tsp diluted in milk
sugar 2 cups
Ghee/Clarified butter 11/2 cups
Cashews & Raisins for garnish

Method:
In a heavy bottemed vessel,add the pumkin with 1/2 cup of water and allow it to cook covered.
once it reaches the mash consistency mash them with a potato masher ,add the sugar and the saffron.
keep mixing until the sugar dissolves with the pumkin,and keep in the flame until it forms a thick mixture,.now slowly keep adding the ghee to it ,so that it comes together like a halwa,and leaves the edges of the pan.
Reserve some of the ghee to toast the cashew and raisins for the garnish.
serve hot.
