Rhuburb Halwa



Souuuuurrrrrrr taste, the vegetable that immediately comes to my mind is Rhuburb. Just wanted to experiment to change its original taste, initially made halwa with cashews and raisins , look was good the taste wasn't. This time made halwa using a simple method and guess what .............yum ..yum....yummy.......



For the simple recipe here you go ....

Rhubarb - 3 stalks
Sugar - 250 gms
Cardamom powder - 1 tsp
Ghee - 2 tsps

Make sure the stem is red while selecting the rhubarb stalks. Slice each piece into an inch size.
Heat a pan and add 2 tsps of ghee into it, heat it up for a min and add the sliced rhubarb pieces. Do not add water as rhubarb has ot of water in it ,now add the sugar and keep stirring.Garnish it with cardamom and serve
