Potato Halwa is a delightful dessert. It is made by mashing cooked potatoes. These are mixed with sugar over a slow fire until thickened. Once the mixture reaches the desired consistency, vibrant food color is added. Ghee is also added. This allows the mixture to pull away from the sides of the vessel. To enhance the flavor, cardamom powder and badam essence are mixed in. Finally, the halwa is transferred to a greased bowl to set, creating a sweet treat that’s rich and aromatic.
This halwa is made with potato and sugar without any flour.
