Pumpkin halwa recipe with step by step photos, easy to make quick pumpkin halwa recipe with condensed milk.

Usually we add khova / khoya while making pumpkin halwa but this time I added condensed milk and made pumpkin halwa in the same lines of carrot halwa. In this pumpkin halwa recipe, only 2 tablespoons ghee is used. Sweet pumpkin or yellow pumpin/parangikai is used for making this pumpkin halwa. It is a very delicious and rice sweet/dessert with the natural sweetness from pumpkin so well mixed with sweetness from condensed milk. Addition of fried nuts add a nice taste and bite to the halwa.

To make pumpkin halwa recipe, there are 2 methods, you can slightly cook the pumpkin in pressure cooker or steamer and then make halwa or you can directly cook the grated pumpkin in condensed milk just like we do in carrot halwa.

Serve pumpkin halwa as a sweet or dessert after meals. This pumpkin halwa tastes excellent both hot and chilled. Serve it hot with a scoop of ice cream for a lovely fusion dessert or chill thoroughly and serve as rich dessert on a hot day.
