1. Make a sugar syrup with the sugar and a little water in a heavy bottomed vessel. The final consistency should be such that if u lift the ladle and pour it, it appears like a single string (kambi paagu).
2. Pour in a ladle of ghee.
3. Put in the mashed potato little by little stirring constantly with a flat ladle such that lumps are not formed.
4. Once the potatoes and the syrup combine well, add ghee little by little stirring constantly.
5. When the mixture separates out from the sides of the vessel, add cardamom powder and stir in
6. Take it off the heat and serve. 
Tips
Add chopped nuts to make the halwa crunchy now and then. I added cucumber seeds, “sara paruppu” & cashew nuts roasted in ghee just before adding the cardamom powder & stirred them in well.
That’s an easy recipe. At least you make it look easy. I somehow find making halwas a bit of a chore and stick only to suji halwa, a family faovourite. In the older recipes you have not given any measurements. Do you assume that your readers are wise enough to do it properly?
Welcome here! This is one recipe I got from my mother. She always makes me feel cooking is easy and there is nothing to it! So doing something under her supervision makes it a cakewalk
