Today's recipe is Ash Gourd ( pumpkin ) halwa with a twist...Ash Gourd halwa is known as Kashi halwa a Mangalorean recipe simple & easy recipe from my bookshelf....tastes awesome & it just melts in your mouth 😋.
The taste of Ash Gourd is very mild like a cucumber no taste of its own,so it easy to incorporate in curries,halwa & pies...If you're looking to lose weight then have Ash Gourd juice early in the morning on empty stomach it works...
The twist to Ash Gourd halwa is I've added beetroot, generally saffron or food color is added to ash gourd  halwa since both were not handy at home I've added beetroot &  ...Adding beetroot gave a lovely color rather than the usual saffron color & it was amazing!!!
