Carrot Halwa


Ingredients:

  • Shredded Carrot - 5 medium sized
  • Sugar - 150 gms
  • Milk - 250 ml
  • Elachi or Cardamon - 5
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk - 100 ml
  • Almond or Badam - 8 or 10
  • Cashews - 8 or 10
  • Sultana's - 2 teaspoons
  • Ghee or Butter - 100 gms

Method:

Heat a non-stick pan which has wide mouth and melt the ghee. Cut the Almond and Cashews into 2 pieces and add to the ghee and fry for a minute. Add the sultana's and fry until the sultana's popup. Add the shredded carrot and fry for a minute. Add the milk, reduce the flame and keep stirring. When all the milk is absorbed and the carrot is cooked add cardamon powder and sugar. Keep stirring for 2 minutes and add the condensed milk. Fold in the condense milk and cook in low flame for 5 mins. Carrot Halwa is ready to serve warm. I like warm carrot halwa and vanilla icecream.

Tips:

Sugar quantity can be adjusted as required, if you use sweetened condense milk sugar can be used as mentioned above.

If you dont like condense milk or it is not available, boil full cream milk in a non stick pan until it is reduced to half and you can add the reduced milk as alternate to condensed milk. In this case you might need to add more sugar.
