Sweet Potato Halwa (Eggless Pudding)
Sweet Potato Halwa (eggless pudding) is one of the easiest Halwa recipes to make. Cardamom and Cinnamon spices give it a delicate and unique flavor. This is a tasty, warm dessert for cold winter months.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 2 cups sweet potato peeled and mashed
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter or ghee clarified butter
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground cardamom (ilachi)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder (dal chini)
- 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg (jaifel)
- 8 cashews broken in small pieces for garnishing (kaju)
Instructions
Method
- Boil the sweet potato peel and mash; Sweet potatoes can be cooked in a microwave. Wrap the potatoes in wet paper towel and cook for 7-8 minutes.
- Heat butter in heavy bottom pan over medium heat. Add sweet potatoes and stir fry by stirring continuously and pressing down for about 8-10 minutes.
- Add milk and mix it well. After milk comes to a boil cook for 2 minutes, add sugar and cook for additional 6-8 minutes or until Halwa should start leaving the side of the pan. Halwa should be very moist.
- Turn off the heat and add cardamom, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix it well.

Manjula-ji, does the halwa “set” once it has cooled down, like a halwa made from sooji would set? Can it be cut into squares? Thanks – NB
Naina, this dose’t become firm like sooji ka halwa
I am a bit confused. Are the peels to be included when the sweet potatoes are boiled and put into the skillet?
SH, after boiling sweet potatoes should be peeled.
