For the Recipe

Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk - 1/2 cup chopped

Cardamom powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Chopped nuts (cashews, almonds, pistachio) - 1/3 cup

Directions

Silky Chocolate Lauki Halwa with Raisins - Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee

Step 1

In a non-stick pan, heat 1 tablespoon of ghee over medium heat.

Silky Chocolate Lauki Halwa with Raisins - Add the grated lauki

Step 2

Add the grated lauki, ensuring it is peeled, grated, and any excess water is squeezed out. This helps prevent the halwa from becoming too watery.

Step 3

And sauté it for 2-3 minutes until it becomes slightly tender.

Silky Chocolate Lauki Halwa with Raisins - Pour in the milk

Step 4

Pour in the milk and let the lauki cook in the milk.

Silky Chocolate Lauki Halwa with Raisins - Stir occasionally

Step 5

Stir occasionally and cook until the milk reduces and the lauki softens (about 10-15 minutes). The milk should be almost absorbed by the lauki at this point.

Step 6

Add sugar according to your sweetness preference and mix it in.

Step 7

Add raisins.

Step 8

Add chopped nuts.

Silky Chocolate Lauki Halwa with Raisins - Add cardamom powder

Add cardamom powder and stir. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes for a fragrant finish.

Step 10

Chop silk chocolate.

Silky Chocolate Lauki Halwa with Raisins - Add the chopped chocolate

Step 11

Add the chopped chocolate to the mixture.

Silky Chocolate Lauki Halwa with Raisins - Stir until it melts

Step 12

And stir until it melts and blends into the halwa, creating a smooth, chocolaty texture. Let the mixture cook for another 5-7 minutes until it thickens to a halwa consistency. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
