Aloo ka Halwa- Simple and delicious potato pudding
 

Aloo ka halwa is a popular and delicious dessert from North India specially in Uttar Pradesh. It is the easiest and quickest halwa I have ever made. It can be eaten during fasting or as vrat ka khana/falahaar.

My mom used to make this halwa especially during ekadashi and other fasting day as it is quick and filling and I learnt to make this from her. I have seen that many prefer to make this halwa from raw grated potatoes but personally I like to use boiled and mashed (not grated) potatoes to make this.

Do not use oil to make this halwa, use desi ghee to get that wonderful taste and aroma.

Looking for fasting recipes then do try-
  • Sabudana Vada
  • Batayacha Kees
  • Moongphali aloo ki sabzi
  • Rajgiri ki poori aur Jeera aloo
  • Vrat ki ras wale aloo ki sabzi
  • Phool makhana Kheer
