Aloo ka Meetha





                                  I love potatoes! Sometimes I worry that I may myself turn into a potato if I indulge too much in them but then they are so amazing, tasty and versatile. They can be well incorporated into any dish you make and today the recipe that I am going to share with you is Aloo ka Meetha or potato sweet dish.

                   The recipe for Aloo ka Meetha is very simple and can be prepared in very less time. Kids and adults all are bound to enjoy this.

Ingredients:

  1. Potatoes - 1/2kg
  2. Cashews - 15 - 20 more or less as you like
  3. Almonds - 15 - 20 
  4. Sugar - 1 1/2cup
  5. Cardamom powder - 1tsp
  6. Ghee - 2tbsp
  7. Orange food color -1/2tsp
  8. Milk - 1/2 cup

Method:

  • Boil the potatoes in a pressure cooker.
  • Peel them and grind to a very fine paste. While grinding add a few drops of oil to your grinding jar as the potato paste will be very sticky and hard to remove, the oil will help in easy removing of contents.


                                                      

  • Soak the cashews and almonds in water or if you are on short of time you can even boil them. 
  • Peel the almonds and cut both almonds and cashews into very fine strips.
  • Heat ghee in a vessel and fry the cashews and almonds till light golden. Remove and keep aside.
  
  •  To the same ghee add potato paste. Cook on low flame stirring continously for 15mins.
  • Next add the sugar, Cardamom powder. Mix well.
  • Take milk in  a cup and add the orange food color to it. Mix well.
  • Add the milk to the potatoes.Give it a quick stir and let it cook till the mixture dries up roughly for five minutes.
