Carrot Halwa

We had guests this weekend, one of our close family friends. They were in the area to visit a kids’ theme park and spent a night with us. We took them to the beach, came home and chatted late into the night. Overall, we had a really nice time. Food was of course part of the evening and for dessert, we had carrot halwa. 

Ingredients

Grated carrots – 4 cups

Milk – 1 ¾ -2 cups

Sugar – 1 ½ cups

Cardamom powder – 1 tsp

Ghee (clarified butter) – 2 tbsps

Cashews & Raisins for garnish

Method

Add the milk and carrots to a heavy bottomed vessel, like a pressure cooker, and cook until the carrots are completely cooked. This will take about 10-12 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the sugar and 1½ tbsps ghee and keep cooking for another 20-25 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed. Keep stirring to avoid burning. Take the vessel off the stove and add the cardamom powder.

Heat ½ tbsp ghee in a small pan and add the cashew nuts and raisins. Toast until the cashews are light golden brown and the raisins are plump. Garnish the halwa with the nuts and raisins and serve warm or cold. Bon Appétit.
