Sweet potato halwa is my favorite , wanted to try something different plus wanted more quantity . Glad I found your recipe. I was little nervous adding some besan in my fav. However it turned out really good. Feeling little under the weather and this halwa help gain some strength as well. Someone in my family doesn’t like sweet potato loved this recipe too. Thank You . Will make it again.

It is kind of funny that I use your recipes so often, but I don’t have an Instant Pot. I just don’t have room in my kitchen. That being said, I just used a skillet to cook the besan and boiled the sweet potatoes in a big pot. I used an immersion blender to get the halwa really smooth and then mixed in the raisins at the end.
It was really good!

Jay, wow that sounds amazing! Love that you made an Indian sweet potato pie! I actually tried making a pumpkin besan fudge – and couldn’t get it quite right so I didn’t post it, but I definitely think it’s possible!

I made the halwa and then used it to create sweet potato pie which had an Indian flavor. It was liked by all who got to eat it. Fantastic creation. Thanks a lot for this recipe. Wonder if a fudge can be created with a version of this halwa.

Awesome recipe!!! My in-laws are from Pakistan and I’m from America and I totally impressed them. Especially with the addition of the almond flour instead of besan at your suggestion. Thank you so so much. I use your recipes all the time.

In reply to kitty. Poppy seeds sound so interesting! Do you use white poppy seeds? A lot or just a bit? Very curious!
