Dumroot/Ash Gourd Pudding/Kashi Halwa/Petha Halwa/White Pumpkin Halwa






Dumroot is one of the preferred desert in weddings and functions, it is one of the famous mouth watering sweet in the state of Karnataka. The milk & Kova crystals will give a unforgettable essence of taste which lasts longer.

Ingredients:
  • Ash Gourd/Winter Melon (grated): 7 cups (deseeded & skin removed)
  • Thick Cream: 1/2 cup or 125ml
  • Condensed Milk/Milk Maid: 1/2 cup
  • Sugar: 2  1/4 cups (increased or decreased to your taste)
  • Cardamom: 2 (Powdered)
  • Ghee: 2 tbsp
  • Milk Powder: 4 tbsp (optional)
Note: You can also use sugarless kova which will add up richness to the taste.
               Adding milk powder will help in reducing the excess water.
            
 For Tempering/Tadka:
  • Cashew Nuts: 20
  • Raisins: 30-40
  • Clarified Butter/Ghee: 1 tbsp
Method:
  • Pressure cook the ash gourd for 3 whistles. Don’t add water as ash gourd leaves water.
  • Once pressure is released pour it to a wide bottom nonstick pan.
 Note: I cooked using pan inside the pressure cooker.


 

Note: Wide bottom pan helps in faster evaporation of excess water.
  • Add milk power, mix well and cook in high flame for minimum 15 min.
  • Add condensed milk & thick cream, mix well.
  • Cook for 15-20 minutes, keep stirring in b/w.
  • Once the water is reduced, Add sugar & mix well.
  • Adding sugar will leave water, keep cooking this needs constant stirring to avoid the mixture from sticking to the pan.
  • Add clarified butter/ghee.
  • Cook for 20 min & keep stirring.
  • Colour starts changing from white to light golden brown & water evaporates completely.
For Tempering/Tadka:
  • Heat clarified butter/ghee in a tempering pan/tadka pan.
  • Add cashewnuts stir till it gets slightly light brown on the edges.
  • Add raisin fry till it pops up like a balloon and changes color slightly.
  • Pour it on the dumroot and mix it.
  • Dumroot/Ash Gourd Pudding is ready to serve.



 Note: You can make dumroot fully thick or keep it semi solid.
                 Cooking time may vary depending on the ash gourd.
