Red Pumpkin Halwa


For the second day of the second week of BM #17, here is a halwa which is an absolute delight.


The sweet fanatic in me cursed myself for having made so little of this halwa. Rest assured I am going to make it as often as there is pumpkin in the refrigerator. The sugar in there is just keeping me at bay!


Ingredients - 


Red Pumpkin peeled, deseeded and cubed 2 cups
Coconut milk (Lite) 2 cups (regular milk works fine too)
Sugar 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp (adjust as required)
Cardamom Powder 1/2 tsp
Ghee 1 Tbsp (more if preferred)
Roasted Cashews for garnish


Red Pumpkin Halwa


Method Of Preparation -


In a heated heavy bottomed pan (I used a non stick pan), add coconut milk and the pumpkin cubes.


Let the pumpkin cook. It takes about 15 min. Then gently mash the pumpkin with a ladle. The coconut milk begins to solidify after a few more minutes.


Add sugar and ghee and keep stirring the mixture until it all comes together as a single mass (about 10 min). (The resultant halwa was a little sticky but the taste was divine!)


Sprinkle the cardamom powder and remove from fire. 


Garnish with roasted cashews and serve upon cooling.
