Carrot Halwa (Gaajar ka Halwa)

This dish has been inspired from the north Indian dish Gaajar ka Halwa or Carrot Halwa as it is commonly known as. Its one of my all time favourate desserts as it is so easy to make and so very delicious.

Ingredients

Carrots grated – 300gms

Milk – 1 ½ cup

Sugar – ¾ cup

Butter – 25 gm

Green Cardamom – a pinch

Nuts like almond, Cashew and some raisins – some for garnishing

Method

Heat up a pan and add the grated carrot and milk and mix well. After a few minutes when the milk starts to boil add the sugar and butter. Mix well. Keep mixing the mixture to prevent the carrot from sticking to the pan. Mix until the milk evaporates and gets totally absorbed by the carrots. Mix the chopped nuts and raisins as a way to garnish the dish. Off the fire and put the carrot halwa into your serving dish and serve it hot or cold as you like.
