Shakarkandi Halwa/ Sweet Potato Halwa

I wanted to try out this Sweet Potato Halwa since a long time.


Ganesh Chaturthi!  Festive Time!
What is a better time than Ganesh Chaturthi.
Yesterday, I prepared the sweet potato halwa as Naivadya (prasad) for god.



Ingredients:
Red/Gold Sweet potato - 1
Jaggery - 2 tpsp
Ghee - 2 tbsp
Cardamom powder - half tsp
Cinnamon powder - half tsp
Crushed Almonds - for garnish
Khismis/ Raisins - for garnish

Procedure:
1. Pressure cook the sweet potato for 2 whistles.
2. Once it cools down, mash it and keep aside.
3. Take a pan. Add ghee and add in the mashed sweet potato.
4. Add the jaggery and mix it till the ghee oozes out.
5. Switch off the gas and add the Cardamom powder and Cinnamon powder and mix well.
6. Finally garnish with Raisins and crushed Almonds.

The delicious Sweet Potato Halwa is ready to serve.
Serve it hot or chilled.
