Carrot Halwa





INGREDIENTS
( Serves - 2 )
  • Carrot  - 450 gms (finely shredded)
  • Milk     - 1 1/2 cups
  • Sugar    - 5 tbs (or according to taste)
  • Cardamom 
  • Nuts (Almond, cashew)
  • Dry grapes
  • Ghee - 1 tbs
  • Pinch of Kesar colour (if desired)

PROCEDURE
  • Heat the pan in medium heat. Add little ghee and allow it to melt
  • Put the shredded carrot and fry in ghee . This gives a very good aroma to the halwa
  • Add milk in small quantities and keep stirring the carrot 
  • Allow the carrot to cook in the milk with constant stirring and add milk as required .
  • It takes almost 20 mins for the entire carrot to get cooked
  • Almost at about 15 mins, add sugar and stir well, the sugar then starts leaving water
  • Keep cooking the carrot until it starts solidifying. Stir continuously at this stage as it may stick to the bottom as it solidifies
  • The carrot will start changing colour indicating that it is fully cooked
  • Meanwhile roast nuts and dry grapes in ghee
  • Add roasted nuts, kesar, cardamom to the halwa and serve hot :)
