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!!!
- 1 kg Ash gourd / Pumpkin ( peel,deseed & measure the pumpkin )...Grate the pumpkin remove the excess water or you can continue cooking in it until dry...
- In a heavy bottomed kadai or pan add the grated ash gourd & 45 to 50 gm grated beetroot & continue cooking in it's own juice...Without adding any water
- Cook on medium flame till the water evaporates..
- Add 1/4 cup ghee , 1 cup sugar , pinch of salt
- In a tadka pan add ghee & a handful of raisins fry till bloats & add to the halwa & mix well.
- Cook till ghee oozes out.
- Serve hot or cold it's delicious & can store in fridge up to 1 week ..Can mix with ice cream or make milkshake 😋👌yummy!!!: Ash Gourd & Beetroot Ice Cream & Milkshake
