Nuts	1/2 cup

METHOD:
     Take a wide tawa, add 2 spoons of ghee, fry the required nuts and keep aside. Now, add grated pumpkin, let it boil until it gets raw smell goes off. Add a pinch of food color and the required sugar. Keep on stiring it by adfing ghee inbetween, make sure it should not get burnt or stick to the pan. Quantity of the added pumpkin will get reduced.
