Just to share with you……
I like Halwa made of white pumpkin. This halwa is common in food in small occassions. I just thought of making halwa using Yellow/Red pumpkin which has natural sweetness in it. I thought of making it like carrot halwa but before doing that I made quick search in web. I tried out the recipe I got and here is the same for you.

1. Pumpkin – 5 cups(grated)
2. Milk – 1 cup
3. Sugar – 1 cup or to taste
4. Honey – 1 cup
5. Cardamom – 5
6. Cashew nuts – 10 (broken into small pieces)
7. Ghee – ½ cup
Note : use same cup for measuring all.
Preparation
- Peel the outer skin and grate the pumpkin. Keep it aside.
- Roast the cashew nuts in ghee and broken into small pieces.Keep it aside.
