Instant pot kasi halwa recipe, Poosanikai halwa recipe

Kasi halwa/ Poosinikai halwa is a delicious and melt in mouth shiny looking sweet/ dessert prepared with winter melon / ash gourd/ white pumpkin. This traditional sweet does not demand too many ingredients but still tastes outstanding. The cooking time is more for the halwa preparation when done in stove top method so I opted to cook in INSTANT POT which really saved my time. Few months back I made this sweet and gave it to one of my friend and she loved it very much so thought to make it again and share it in the blog. This poosanikai halwa involves no techniques like other halwa recipe so even beginners can give this recipe a shot and it will surely turn out to be perfect. So let’s get to the making!
