Poosanikkai Paal Halwa/ Pumpkin Halwa

You will be seeing many pumpkin recipes in my blog this month. I bought a pumpkin and wanted to finish it off. This time I had to try out new recipes. This halwa was so delicious. I love the colour of pumpkin. I used two drops of lemon yellow to enhance the colour. The addition of cashew and pumpkin seeds made it slightly crunchy. Milk and pumpkin merged together to create magic. You will surely love it..
