Carrot Halwa

**Ingredients: **

  • Milk - 8 cups

  • Sugar - 4 cups

  • Grated carrot - 4 cups

  • Raisins - 6

  • Cashews - 6

  • Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp

  • Ghee - 7 tbsp

Method:

Heat the milk in a hard bottomed pan adding sugar and cardamom powder. Allow to condense to nearly 1/3rd its volume (or until lots of cream/edu forms on top and the mixture turns to a light cream/brown color). Add the grated carrot and allow the mixture on a low heat setting for a while.

In another pan, heat ghee and fry the raisins and cashews. Add this to the carrot milk mixture and allow to cook until the ghee comes out on top/sides.

Miscellaneous Info:

  • Tips: Can use condensed milk instead of just milk to quicken the process.

  • Cuisine: Indian

  • Cooking Time: up to 1 hr

  • Serves 6 - 8
