Steps

1To begin with Pumpkin Halwa, heat 2 tablespoons ghee in a kadhai.
2When ghee gets heated, add the raisins. After the raisins puff, remove them from the kadhai and keep them on a separate plate.
3In the same kadhai, add the other chopped dry fruits and roast them. Keep them in the same plate where the raisins are kept.
4Now add 3 more tablespoons ghee to the same kadhai. Add the grated pumpkin and fry it on low flame till the raw smell goes away.
5Now add milk and let the pumpkin get cooked for some time. Add khoya and mix everything well.
6Keep stirring in between to avoid it sticking to the bottom of the kadhai. After some time, the halwa will start thickening. Add sugar and mix well.
7Keep stirring continuously when the halwa starts to thicken, add the dry fruits.
8Crush the cardamom pods with a mortar and pestle, discard the peels.
9Sprinkle the cardamom powder on the halwa and mix well. When the halwa starts leaving the sides of the kadhai, it is done and ready to be served.
10Serve Pumpkin Halwa as a dessert to your friends and family during Holi lunch or dinner.
