Dudhi Halwa

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons ghee or any cooking oil
• 4 cups packed Dudhi grated
• 1 cup low fat milk divided (or almond milk)**
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 cup non-fat dry milk powder **
• 1 teaspoon vanilla **
• 1 tablespoon sliced almonds for garnish optional

Steps

1. Set the Instant Pot to saute(normal) mode and heat ghee. Add grated dudhi and sauté for a minute. Add half of the low-fat milk. Close Instant Pot with Pressure valve to sealing. Pressure cook for 2 minutes followed by Quick Release (Natural Pressure Release works too).
2. Set the Instant Pot to Saute(normal) mode. Mix the milk powder in the remaining half cup of milk and add it to the Instant Pot.
3. Add sugar and cook for 5 minutes stirring frequently until most of the liquids evaporate and the halwa thickens. If the halwa starts to splutter set the Instant Pot to Saute(less) mode and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.
4. Stir in Vanilla, mix well and turn the Instant Pot off. Halwa will thicken further as it cools down. Garnish with sliced almonds. Enjoy warm or chilled.
