Sorakkai Halwa (Bottle gourd Halwa) - Preparation time 20 minsIn my mom's home we dont cook vegetables like Sorakkai, Pudalangai, poosanikkai as they are watery vegetable (as my mom had cold and severe headache problem). My dad brought few vegetables from village. He brought this sorakkai also. I started making sorakkai sambar after tasting in my relative home. It tasted similar to chow chow sambar.
Now i tried making halwa using sorakkai in a very less quantity and kootu both came out very well. I am going to share the halwa recipe here. You might also like it. So with one sorakkai we can try sambar, kootu and halwa. First try in little quantity.
Ingredients:-
Sorakkai - Grated 1 small cup
Milk - To cook the sorakkai (1/2 or 3/4 cup) (I used boiled milk)
Sugar - 1/2 cup or 1/4 cup according to your taste
Ghee - 2 tbsp
Cashew - 5 (break to small pieces)
Preparation method:-
In a heavy pan add the sorakkai along with 1 tbsp of ghee and roast till the raw smell goes off.
Now add the milk and boil the sorakkai. Cook in slow flame so the water evaporates and becomes solid. Add sugar and mix well.
When all the ingredients is cooked and come to halwa consistency add the ghee and chopped cashew (this time i tried adding cashew without roasting. This also tasted good).
This will be in natural colour of sorakkai (bottle gourd). This will taste as rich sweet.
