This halwa is an absolute delight and is made by first boiling sweet potatoes. Afterwards, peel and mash them in a large bowl. Melt ghee in a kadhai and roast the mashed shakarkandi in it until brown in colour. Afterwards, mix milk, jaggery and enough water to mix all the ingredients.

If you have a thing for ‘French Fries’ then here’s the healthier version of fries that you can enjoy in winters. For making these fries, preheat the oven at 220 degrees C.

Throw the fingers in the tray and add this dressing over the fingers. Toss well and bake for 35 minutes. Sprinkle some salt & pepper over the fries and enjoy.
