My Dhaba's halwa week: Day #2 - Sago halwa + Potato halwa + Malai halwa
It is My Dhaba's halwa week, day #2 today.
We are presenting to you 3 delicious halwas today; sago halwa, potato halwa, and malai halwa. We would like to thank Mrs. Chitra Viswanathan for sending us her favorite recipe details and pictures of potato halwa and malai halwa and allowing us to get those featured here via My Dhaba Group. We are sure that today's My Dhaba guests would definitely love these delicious treats.
Just for the beginners, halwas are sweet semi-solid preparations, made with sugar, ghee, nuts, any cereal, vegetable, or dals.

Method: Boil, peel & mash potatoes . Heat ½ cup ghee, add mashed potato & fry for sometime, till the colour changes & volume of potato shrinks.
