Ingredients Serving: 4

  1. 2 cups grated lauki/bottle gourd
  2. 1/2 cup powdered jaggery or granulated sugar
  3. 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
  4. 6 to 8 cashew nuts
  5. 4 tablespoons ghee

Instructions

  1. Add about 1/2 to 3/4 cups water with lauki , mix well and cook in pressure pan for about 2 whistles.
  2. Once the steam is released, open and cook the bottle gourd on medium high until most of the moisture evaporates.
  3. Add jaggery and 2 tablespoons of ghee and mix well. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and starts leaving sides of the pan; add more ghee if you want a richer halwa.
  4. Stir in cardamom powder and give it a good stir. Remove from heat.
  5. In a small saucepan, heat rest of the ghee and add cashew nuts; fry until light golden brown. Add fried nuts into the halwa and mix well. Transfer into serving bowls, garnish with additional cashew nuts and serve hot or cold.
