Papaya Halwa Recipe | Halwa Recipes

Papaya Halwa Recipe is a very simple Indian Sweet made with ripe Papaya and also it requires very few ingredients. I know many of us don’t like papaya :-), then this is an apt way for people like us to consume this fruit. Although there are a lot of Papaya trees in my parents home in Trichy, till today I have not tasted a single piece of Papaya fruit. From my childhood, my parents force me to eat this fruit, but my reaction will be weird at first sight of this fruit. Recently my sister sent me a big Papaya from her organic farm here in Bangalore, but I told a big no-no to this fruit. But she gave me the idea to try this Halwa recipe. After finishing the preparation, I was confused about whether to taste or not, but finally made my mind and tasted a spoon of this halwa. I was really surprised by the taste and the texture was melt in the mouth. I could not find the smell or traces of papaya and it was absolutely delicious like other halwa recipes.

Notes

Tips for Papaya Halwa Recipe

1. Papaya can also be grated or pureed. I used ripe papaya so just chopped, mashed, and proceeded with the process.

2. Milk can be replaced with 1 tbsp of almond powder, unsweetened khoya, or milk powder.

3. The shelf life of the halwa is 1 week under refrigeration, stays good for 2 days if kept outside.

4. Adjust sugar accordingly to the sweetness of the papaya.

5. 1/2 tbsp of rice flour, cornflour, or maida can be added for quick thickening of halwa.

6. Also, don't overcook the halwa, it becomes chewy. Switch off the flame when it's in slightly flowing consistency itself.
