Step 1
Measure 2 cups of the grated ash gourd. You may need approximately 750 gms of ash gourd for this. Transfer this to a hard bottomed pan and cook till the water evaporates.
Step 2
At this stage add the sugar, combine it well and stir until the raw smell of the ash gourd vanishes and the mixture begins to thicken and hold together.
Step 3
Meanwhile heat ghee in a separate pan and fry the cashews and raisins. Pour this into the halwa mix.
Step 4
Add cardamom powder and turmeric powder. Stir well until the halwa thickens and leaves the edges as you stir. Switch off the flame when it reaches the consistency.
Step 5
Kashi Halwa is not cooked till very dry. It is generally moist – so ensure you switch off the flame at the right time.
Step 6
Turmeric powder is added for color, this can be replaced with saffron.
