    Sweet potato Halwa - an easy dessert made with mashed sweet potatoes, ghee, milk and nuts for toddlers, kids and for the whole family.

Like other sweet potato recipes, this sweet potato halwa is also a super hit at home 🙂 This sweet potato halwa can be given to babies after one year as a dessert.

    Notes :
    • Adding saffron with milk is optional. But gives a nice flavor and color to the halwa.
    • When you introduce for small babies, make with less ghee and give a small amount.
    • Adjust sugar according to the sweetness of sweet potatoes.
    • You can also use jaggery to make this sweet potato halwa.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
    • Don't prefer whole nuts for small babies, instead add powdered nuts.
