How to prepare Sweet Potato Halwa?

3. Add the nuts and fry them, and remove them from ghee.

4. In the remaining ghee, add two more tablespoons of ghee.

5. Add smashed sweet potato and sauté it well.

6. After 10-15 minutes, when the colour changes, add Khoa and stir well.

7. Add remaining ghee, sugar and cardamom powder.

Note: Halwa should be prepared in low flame. You can prepare the milk product Khoa at home. Boil full-fat milk in a thick bottomed pan and completely evaporate the water content. You should stir occasionally to avoid sticking to bottom. Water should completely be absorbed and milk forms small particle like structures. You can also buy from super market.
