Steps

  1. 1To begin making Aloo Ka Halwa (Grated Potato Sweet), grate the potato. As you grate the potato, keep a big bowl of water and keep adding the grated potato into it. This is essential to prevent browning.
  2. 2Also soak the saffron in a little quantity of hot water for 15 minutes. Keep this aside for further use.
  3. 3Take a thick bottomed kadai and heat ghee. Now add dry fruits and fry until they turn golden. Keep this aside.
  4. 4Take the same wok, add the soaked grated potato, water to soak them. Now close and cook with salt for almost 15 minutes or until they are 3/4th done.
  5. 5Drain the water from cooked grated potato. Add this potato into the wok.
  6. 6Add sugar to the cooked potato and start mixing well.
  7. 7Add soaked saffron strands, mix well until the sugar melts and forms a thick syrup like consistency.
  8. 8Now add the ghee fried dry fruits along with the remaining ghee.
  9. 9Mix again and cook well on medium heat until it thickens (It takes around 15 minutes for thickening on medium flame).
  10. 10At the end, switch off, add lemon juice and mix well. Serve hot or warm topped with nuts or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
