you could, but your end result will be looser. im not sure if you can form them into balls using pumpkin puree. if you find you cant, just add more ground almond to thicken it up. or cook the mixture longer so it thickens

Hi! I just stumbled upon your website while searching for a pumpkin recipe. I am finding your site so so cool and awesome!!!! Love the pics!
I have a question about this recipe, can I use Pumpkin puree which I have already made from fresh pumpkins ( my son got them from his field trip)? I made it by steaming them. Thanks a bunch

canned pumpkin might be looser than fresh, so you might need to add more ground almonds

yes, you can. but i like the little grated strips of pumpkin running through the halwa. take care not to over cook the pumpkin in the pressure cooker.

Instead of grating, can we pressure cooker the peeled pumpking and mash it?

Halva is also very popular in Iran -and so is Saffron but only in rice. I come here for the photos. I don’t cook or bake – my husband does – but I am here to ENJOY your photos, what fantastic job you do!

Loved the color! So warm and inviting.
Is that a pattu saree? My mom has a similar one with bhuttas on it.
