Tomorrow is Karwa chauth. We prepare many
dishes for “Sargi” (the early morning meal before fasting). This time you can
try this new sweet dish. I am sure that you will like it. Even if you are not
fasting, you can also try this ‘halwa’. It’s a sweet dish as yummy as healthy.
Papite ka halwa
Ingredients :
- Raw Papaya – 500 gm.
- Clarified Butter (Ghee) – 2 ½ tbsp
- Khoya(crumbled)- 150 gm.
- Sugar – 350 gm. Or as per your taste
Method:
- Thickly peel out the papaya & remove its entire inner layer of seed side. If the peeling from inside & outside is not done properly, the taste of halwa would get affected.
- Now, grate the papaya & keep it aside.
- Take a wok & keep it on medium flame, with ½ tbsp clarified butter(Ghee).
- Then, place all the papaya into the wok. After stirring it for a while, close it with a lid.
- After 5-10 minutes, add sugar and stir the mixture well. Then, cover the lid again.
- Now, keep stirring & closing the lid after every 5-10 minutes, till the mixture is fully done.
- Add crumbled khoya & rest ghee into the mixture, now; and sauté it well.
- Now, after every 5-10 minutes stir the mixture well, till it attains a slightly pinkish colour.
