Vegetarian

grated white gourd

Whole Milk

Sugar

Ghee

powdered cardamoms

a few strands saffron

almonds or cashew nuts slivered

Raisins

Peel gourds ensuring that no flesh is lost. Cut them into 4 inch long chunks. 

step 1

 Grate and squeeze out excess moisture before measuring. 

step 2

 In a deep, heavy bottomed pan, heat the ghee and saute the gourd in it till it turns translucent. 

step 3

 Add the sugar and boiled milk cooled to room temperature. Reduce the heat to low and stir. 

step 4

 Let the ingredients slow cook for as long as it takes for the milk to evaporate, and only the solids are left as little chunks mingling with the gourd. 

step 5

 While cooking, add more milk if you think the pudding needs to thicken or is drying out too quickly. 

step 6

 Cooking will take 1-2 hours. Make sure you stir the halva frequently so it does not stick to the bottom of the vessel or char. 

step 7

 As it thickens, it becomes more difficult to stir. 

step 8

 When it is still moist to touch, but not liquid, it is done. 

step 9

 Mix in the almonds and raisins and spices. Remove from the heat. 

step 10

 Serve hot with puris or polis or cold as a pudding. Garnish with almonds.
