Tip :
You can also make this halwa with boiled potatoes. The more ghee you add the halwa will be tastier ...I have used non-stick wok for this recipe - potatoes can become quite sticky and a non-stick surface works best if you are trying to cut the amount of ghee.
Do not use very fine grater as finely grated potatoes may leave water at the beginning. I have shown the grater in the side picture for your convenience.
