ABOUT Sapota Halwa / Chikoo Halwa RECIPE

Sapota is a healthy seasonal fruit which is high in nutrients. The halwa is delicious, rich with the unique malty taste of chikoo. This is definitely one of tastiest halwa I have prepared and just melts in the mouth.

Instructions

Wash the sapota, remove the skin and seeds. Take the sapota segments in a bowl and mash it well.
Heat a pan with a tbsp of ghee, add Cashews to the ghee and fry until it changes golden. Remove from ghee and keep aside.
Add the mashed Sapota to the ghee in pan and cook for a minute.
Pour milk to the pan and mix well. Cook in medium flme stirring occasionally until it becomes thick.
Dont worry if the milk curdles. It has to combine with the Sapota and become thick.
Add sugar and cook stirring well. The halwa will lossen again as sugar melts.
Pour the remaining ghee and cook until everything comes together oozing out ghee on sides.
Garnish with fried Cashews and serve it warm. I have added some coconut flakes on top.
Enjoy this delicious halwa for any occasion.
