Equipment
- pan
- bowl
- spatula
Ingredients
- 3 large Potatoes
- 1 cup Sugar
- ⅘ tablespoon Ghee
- ½ teaspoon Cardamom powder
- Few strands of saffron
Instructions
- Cook the potatoes in a pressure cooker and then peel them. Mash them well with a fork.
- In a non stick pan, heat the ghee and then add the mashed potatoes. Sauté it on low-medium heat, stirring constantly until the potatoes start to change color and a nice aroma comes out. It is very important to keep stirring because you don’t want to burn the potatoes. This took me about 12 minutes.
- Then add the sugar and mix well. The halwa will become slightly runny and then start to come together as a mass. Keep stirring till it leaves the sides of the pan. This happens very quickly and it took me less than 5 minutes. Now add the cardamom powder and the saffron and mix well.
- Take it off the flame and serve warm.
