Potato Halwa Navratri Special

Navratras have special place in most North Indian households. Often there is less of fasting and more of feasting which happens! Potato halwa is one of our family favourite and I never had it after my mom’s death. Suddenly cleaning my cupboard, I chanced upon my mom’s recipe book and saw the potato halwa recipe . Just got tempted to try it and relive my childhood. It is an easy recipe and you can reduce or increase the ghee quantity

Ingredients

• – 1 ½ cup boiled and mashed potatoes (let the boiled potatoes cool naturally)
• – 1/4 cup ghee
• – 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
• – 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• – 1 /2 cup milk

Method

1. Take a pan and put some ghee in it. Heat it for a min
2. Put the potatoes and fry them in ghee for about 10 min. Use a non stick vessel so that it is easier and potatoes do not stick to the pan
3. Add sugar and roast it for a min
4. Add milk and cardamom powder to the mixture and let it cook for another 3-4 min
5. Serve it hot with almond garnish

It is really yummy, my kids had it for the first time and they loved it . It took them a while to find out it is boiled potato
