Aloo Ka Halwa Recipe Instructions:

Step 1
First of all, wash good quality potatoes like Chipsona thoroughly in water and boil them. After the potatoes are boiled, peel them and let them cool. When the potatoes cool down, grade them. Place a non-stick pan over the flame and add desi ghee inside it. When the desi ghee becomes a little hot, put the graded potatoes inside it reduce the flame to medium, and keep stirring the potatoes with the help of a flat spoon.
Step 2
Fry the potatoes a little while moving slowly. After cooking for about 10 minutes, the color of the potatoes will start changing slightly, which means they are roasting slowly. After 10 minutes, when the potatoes get roasted with a slight color change, add sugar inside it and mix well with a flat spoon. Keep it on medium and keep stirring continuously. Slowly the sugar will start melting, And after stirring for 10 to 15 minutes, the potatoes will start releasing ghee little by little. This means our halwa is ready, now we will turn off the flame.
Step 3
Place a non-stick pan over the flame and add 2 tablespoons of desi ghee. When the desi ghee becomes hot, cut the almonds into thick pieces separate the whole cashews from the middle and put them inside the ghee, and stir slowly. Will roast and turn down the flame completely.
Step 4
When cashew nuts and almonds are roasted, turn off the flame and put both of them inside the halwa and also add finely chopped pistachios, Break the stems of the raisins and put them inside the halwa and mix well. Also, put saffron leaves and Green Cardamom Powder inside the halwa and mix well. We will mix some dry fruits and keep them for garnishing. We will add them on top and garnish them. After mixing all the dry fruits well, take out the halwa in a serving bowl and garnish with some remaining dry foods on top. Now our Aloo Ka Halwa Recipe is ready, serve it hot.

Tips And Notes

1 – Some people also add a little food color to the potato halwa, which improves the color of the halwa and makes the presentation better. If you want, you can add a little food color to the halwa after the potatoes are roasted.
2 – You can add any dry fruits as per your choice in potato halwa. The use of dry fruits in abundance gives a better taste to potato halwa.
3 – Use saffron leaves after soaking them in some milk for 30 minutes. This gives a better color to the saffron.
4 – The halwa should be roasted well on low flame while continuously stirring. The more you roast the potatoes, the tastier and grainier the halwa will be. To make potato halwa, a heavy bottom pan should be used because while making potato halwa, it often gets burnt due to sticking to the bottom.
5 – Some people also roast the potato halwa by adding milk to it after it is roasted, but I do not make it this way. If you want, after the potatoes are roasted, you can add milk, roast it a little more, and then add sugar.

Special Notes 

Potatoes contain abundant amounts of starch carbohydrates, which give you instant energy. When you start feeling low during fasting, potato halwa helps in re-energizing you. Along with this, sugar and desi ghee have also been added to it. Both of these are good sources of energy, due to which you do not feel low after eating. But if you are overweight then you should not eat potato halwa in large quantities. Even if you suffer from low blood pressure during fasting, eating potato halwa is beneficial. The magnesium present in potatoes helps in controlling your blood pressure. Along with this, the calcium present in it is also beneficial for our body.
