CARROT HALWA


I am not much of a sweet-eating person. But recently I had this extreme craving for Carrot Halwa and incidentally, today being Vijayadasami (10th day of Navrathri) I made it and couldn't resist the taste. Why don't you try too?

Ingredients
serves 2

3/4 cup of ghee melted (I used unsalted butter of the same quantity)

3 large or 3 cup of carrots grated

1.5 cups of milk

1 cup sugar

a handful of cashews, raisins (to taste)

How to make it

- Pressure cook the grated carrots and milk for 1 whistle.

- Heat ghee in a pan, fry cashews and raisins.

- Strain milk from the carrots and keep it aside.

- Add the cooked carrots to the pan and add some milk if you find it quite dry.

- Cook for 5-6 minutes and add sugar.

- Sugar will turn it watery but don't mind and continuously stir it until you get the halwa texture or till the excess water evaporates.

Enjoy it immediately :)
