This is very easy halwa recipe which can be made with boiled potatoes and few more ingredients. The star ingredient of this recipe is potatoes . The best thing about potato is whatever way we cook potatoes , it tastes awesome.

  • Mix the mashed potatoes and ghee together.
  • Sauté  the potatoes with ghee for 5 min on low heat.
  • After 5 min , add sugar and again mix it very well.
  • After adding sugar , the sugar and potato mixture would like thick batter.
  • Add shallow fried almonds and raisins .

  • Keep stirring and sauté halwa on low medium heat.
