So here it goes, friends... recipe for one of my all-time favorite sweets.
Cooking Time: 30 mins
Ingredients:
- Carrots (medium) - 10
- Milk - 2 cups
- Sugar - 1 cup
- Ghee - 2 tsp
- Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp
- Cashews - 10
- Raisins - 1 tbsp
- Almonds (soaked in warm water) - 5
Grate the carrots into thin slices (food processor comes handy) and set aside. Heat 1 tsp ghee in a large fry pan and add the grated carrots. Saute for 30 seconds in medium heat and close the pan with a lid. Cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally. Add milk to the pan and stir well. Add sugar and cardamom powder and stir well. Close the pan with the lid and cook for 10 mins.
Take a small fry pan and heat 1 tsp ghee. Split the cashews into half and add it to the small pan, along with the raisins. Turn off the stove and stir the contents well. Once done, add this to the contents in large pan and stir well. Close the large pan with the lid and cook for 10 mins.
Turn off the stove and set aside to cool. Now, take the soaked almonds and peel off their skin. Slice them into thin strips and sprinkle on top of the halwa. Serve warm or chilled, as preferred (I like it chilled) ... Carrot Halwa ready! :-)
