Ingredients

  • Grated carrot- 4 cups
  • Milk- 2 cups
  • Sugar- 1 cup
  • Ghee- 4 to 6 tsp
  • Cardamom powder- 1/2 tsp
  • Almonds+Cashews+raisins- Handful

Instructions

Preparation

  • Rinse and wash the carrots, trim the edges and grate them using vegetable grater. Measure and keep aside. I have used 4 cups of grated carrot.

Method

  • Heat a heavy bottom pan or vessel, add ghee and grated carrot. Saute till the raw smell subsides and carrot shrinks off.
  • When carrot reduces in volume, add milk. Let the carrot get cooked in milk till it is soft. Keep stirring to avoid burning at the bottom.
  • Carrot absorbs milk and becomes completely dry. Next add sugar.
  • The sugar dissolves in to liquid. Continue cooking till the carrot absorbs sugar and comes together as a mass. Add rest of the ghee in between.
  • Finally add ghee roasted cashews, almonds, raisins and cardamom powder. Mix and switch off.
  • Lip-smacking carrot halwa is ready to serve.

Notes

  • Initially sauteing grated carrot is important, otherwise the raw smell will ruin the taste of halwa.
  • After adding milk, keep stirring to avoid burning at the bottom.
  • You can add some khoya too for enhancing the taste.
