Gajar Ka Halwa (Carrot Halwa)

Ingredients:

1 cup carrots
Full fat milk (enough to cover the carrots)
1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cardamom powder
A handful almonds

Method:


  • Soak almonds in water for about an hour. Peel and slice them. 
  • Peel and grate the carrots. 
  • Cook grated carrot with milk on a medium flame till all the water content evaporates away. Constantly keep stirring while the carrot is getting cooked. (For a richer product, you can also use Condensed Milk along with milk. In that case, reduce the quantity of milk as needed.) 
  • Once the halwa is almost dry and sticky, add sugar and cook for some more time. Keep stirring.
  • Again, as soon as the halwa starts becoming sticky, add cardamom powder, mix well and take off the flame. 
  • Garnish with the sliced almonds and serve hot. 
  • Also goes extremely well with vanilla ice-cream.
