Pumpkin tastes better in winter because the cold weather makes it denser, sweeter and naturally flavourful. The creamy and warm pumpkin halwa is a cosy, mildly sweet, buttery dessert with a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture which makes the dessert feel comforting without being too heavy.
2 cups grated pumpkin ½ cup sugar 2 tablespoons ghee ½ cup milk Cardamom powder, nuts
Heat ghee in a pan and add the grated pumpkin.
Cook over medium heat until it gets soft and begins shrinking.
Add the milk and cook until it is absorbed fully.
Add sugar and cook until the mixture gets thicker.
Before serving, sprinkle cardamom powder and nuts on top.
