Carrot Halwa

One of my favourite desserts, carrot halwa, i love to make it as much as i love to eat it. And what better occasion than hubby's birthday to make it.


Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour
Serves: 12

Ingredients:

1. Fresh carrots 1kg
2. Ghee 4-5 tbsp
3. Milk 1/2 litre
4. Water 2 cups
5. Cashews 10 broken into half
6. Raisins (dry grapes) 15-20
7. Badam cut into half 10-12
8. Sugar (For 1 cup of carrot you have taken take half cup of sugar)
9. Elaichi 2-3 pods (powdered)

Method:

1. Heat 3 tablespoons of ghee in a vessel and add the grated carrots and saute for about 2 minutes.
2. Then add 2 cups of water and 1 cup of milk and let the carrots cook. Keep stirring in between.
3. Once the carrots are almost cooked add sugar as per the measurement and mix well.
4. Let the carrots and sugar cook well.
5. Heat the remaining ghee in a small kadhai and add the cashews, raisins and badam and mix it to the cooked halwa. Mix well.
