Kashi halva using jaggery.
Ash gourd halwa recipe | Kashi Halwa | Kushmanda Halwa | Dumroot Halwa | Mangalore Style Kashi Halwa
Simple and sweet kashi halva, Ingredients used ash gourd, sugar, cashew, raisins and little cardamom powder.
Preparing kashi halva is bit more time consuming.It took 1½ hour,but worth preparing.
Here in this recipe we have not used much nuts/saffron. It is okay not to use.
Our recipe tasted just like kashi halwa in functions that is served along with breakfast.
Do try our recipe and let us know in the comment section.
Points to remember
* Try to use fully grown ash gourd which as good amount of white powder(ash) on its skin.
* If you are using tender ash gourd, just remove the soft portion(the seed portion) and then use.
* If you don't want to spend more time on kashi halva, just squeeze out the excess water of ash gourd and use. Discard ash gourd water(or make some juice. **invent new item. hehehe just kidding).
For authentic taste, try to prepare kashi halwa without removing it's water.
* Always sugar should be half the quantity of ash gourd weight.
Means if using 3 kg ash gourd use 1½ kg sugar.
If you don't like sugar you can also prepare using jaggery. Use half cup more jaggery than that of sugar.
Serves - 20 people (for halwa lovers this recipe will only serve for 10 people)
Preparation time - 1½ to 2 hours
