Aloo ko halwa (potato halwa)

Instructions

1. Peel the potatoes, grate them finely, then rinse them under water to remove excess starch.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee in a large pan and fry the grated potatoes for 5 minutes.
3. Pour in the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring, until almost all the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
4. Add the sugar, cardamom and saffron, then continue cooking, stirring.
5. Gradually add the rest of the ghee, stirring until the mixture pulls away from the sides, about 5 minutes.
6. Sprinkle with toasted flaked almonds and raisins if you're using them.
7. Serve warm or hot.
