Sweet potato Halwa (SaKaravellikazhngu)

My favorite sweet, only for main reason that it had pretty less sweet content. I am not a sweet tooth person at all. its also very easy to make.

Ingredient:

Sweet potato 1
Sugar 3 spoons
butter (melted will also work) as needed
Dried grapes to garnish

Cardamom for flavoring (3)

Prep: 30 mins

Cooking time: 30 mins

Servings: 4

Method:

Pressure cook sweet potato in milk or water with a pinch of salt. (Salt is added to make the Halwa not very sweet). Once the pressure is released, peal the skin off SweetPotato and smash it such that a smooth paste is formed. 

Take a shallow flat bottomed vessel, and add sweet potato to it. Cook it until the water in it is vaporized (this is the longest process, takes about 15-20 mins). Now stir in 5 teaspoon of milk to it and cook for 5 mins.

Finally add butter and sugar (as per taste) and stir until the butter is completely melted and sugar is completely dissolved. Keep stirring until a nice aroma rises. (This takes about 5 mins)

Melt one spoon of butter or ghee, and once it is hot add dried grapes and cardamom, add it to halwa. (this is just for tempering or garnishing) 

The sweet potato halwa is ready for serving (best served when hot)!

Always the keep the heat very very very low and keep stirring often as halwas are liable to burn.

Enjoy ur hot yummy halwa
