Maravalli Kizhangu Halwa:(Country Style)
Manihot esculenta is the Botanical name of this plant. Where they have modified tap root…rich in starch. Its eaten in many parts of the world today, but traces its origin to South America. In India, it is often associated with famine food’. During depression, people mainly sustained with just few tapioca plants planted at their backyard…the starchy tubers satisfied their hunger. This is one of the recipe Papa narrated to me, saying how his sister…whiped this simple starchy tuber into delicacy.
Ingredients:
Yucca tuber 1
Jaggery/Granulated brown sugar – as much as you want
Cardamom 3-6 pods crushed
Grated coconut few spoons
Pumpkin seeds to garnish
Ghee 1-2 spoons.
Method:
Grated the tubers, yeah bit hard…but you will get it.:)
In a wide wok, heat ghee add the cardamom, followed by sugar and 1 cup of water. Heat till it comes to one string consistency.
Now, add the grated tuber. Cover and cook over low heat, once halwa is formed…add coconut and pumpkin seeds too.
Enjoy as a dessert. Very filling though’.:)
