What ? Papaya Halwa ! People may wonder.Earlier Papaya Jam, as suggested by my friend Ms. K.S.Sita had been tried by me some years back.Last week there were guests from Chennai.Why don't I try a sweet with Papaya,which was in the fridge.
Halwa can be made with any base that goes well with sugar and ghee.My spouse who is crazy about sweets often used to say humorously, " Even if we mix sugar with sand, it is a sweet !" This seems to be true as people try sweet with all bases.Pumpkin Halwa,Pineapple Halwa, Carrot Halwa and Bread Halwa are common.
My niece Ms.Divya liked it very much and could not guess and later accept that it is prepared from papaya.
Ingredients :
Raw papaya 1
Sugar 2 cups
Ghee 3 tbsp
Cardamom Powder
Cashew , Badam
Rasberry red colour A pinch
Method :
1.Peal the papaya and cut into small pieces.
2.Cook the papaya well directly in a small pressure cooker by adding little water.
3.After they get cool, grind to a fine paste in a mixi.
4.Roast the nuts in a little ghee and keep aside.
5.Measure the boiled and ground papaya pulp.
6.One cup of papaya base can be got from a medium sized papaya.
7.Add sugar in the ratio of 1: 2. This can be reduced according to our taste.
8.Mix the base, colour and sugar in the same small cooker and place it on the flame.
9.Stir on the high flame continuously with 1 tbsp. of ghee. for 5 minutes.
10.Then keep it in sim. for 10 mins.
11.Finally add the remaining ghee, cardamom powder and the nuts.
