Notes
one medium papaya yielded approx 2 servings of the halwa. so
double the quantity for 3-4 servings.
this recipe is not a recipe, but just the method of making halwa. the quantity of ingredients can always be increased or decreased. so the recipe post is just a
guideline.
if possible use semi ripe papaya. you can also make with ripe
papaya. no need to add sugar if making with a really ripe papaya.
i have made the halwa with oil, but you can make with ghee if your prefer.
