A gorgeous looking halwa that literally melts in your mouth. Sweet Potato is called Ratalu in Hyderabad. Loaded with nuts and ghee, it is the easiest to make. I made it taste even more delish by topping it with whipped cream. This added a little bit of extra charm to it. As these are sweet, the addition of sugar also is reduced to a large extent making it healthy and perfect for everyone. Happy Cooking Everyone!

Steps

25 minutes

1

Wash and clean the sweet potatoes well. Pressure cook with enough water for 5-6 whistles. Peel away the skin and mash well.
2

In a deep cooking pan, heat ghee and add the nuts. Fry for a minute and then add the mashed sweet potatoes along with sugar and milk. Stir in cardamom powder too.
3

Mix well and simmer on medium high heat until all the milk is soaked up. The halwa looks shiny and glossy with ghee leaving the sides of the pan in about 10-12 minutes. Keep stirring in between to avoid it from getting burnt. Serve it warm topped with few more nuts. Or serve it chilled. The choice is yours.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
