Potato Halwa

 IMAGERY:


We always search for a substitute when it comes to cooking. And we are all the more happy when a recipe could be a substitute or a replica of another. Here comes such a replica of Badam Halwa, which is made with potatoes. Initially I had a doubt if it will be an exact taste and believe me, if you serve this halwa and say it is Badam Halwa, for sure every one will believe. Such is the richness and taste of this Potato Halwa. One most important tip for making this halwa is that the potatoes should be mashed completely without any lumps so that you do not get even a tiny piece of potato to guess the ingredient.
So here comes the recipe of Potato Halwa. Do enjoy the taste of Badam Halwa through this recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

Potatoes                                      -          250 gm

Sugar                                          -          250 gm, equal as that of the potatoes

Dry fruits                                     -          a few

Unsweetened Khoya                  -          70 - 80 gm

PREPARATION:
