Carrot Halwa - Gajar Ka Halwa

Ingredients:

• Peeled and grated carrots - 2.5 cups
• Milk - 6 cups
• Sugar - 1 cup
• Ghee - 3 tbsp
• Cardamom powder - 1 tsp
• Cashew and nuts - to garnish

Method:

• Bring the milk to boil in heavy bottomed pan and continue to simmer till it reduces to half the quantity. Make sure you keep stirring once in a while, so it doesn't stick to the bottom.
• Meanwhile, in another pan, heat the ghee and add the grated carrots.
• Saute for about 5-8 minutes on a low flame till it loses its raw smell and softens.
• Add the carrot to the reduced milk and continue cooking till the milk is completely absorbed and the carrot is just moist.
• Once the carrot is cooked, add sugar and cook for 5 minutes, till the sugar dissolves.
• Add the cardamom powder and remove from flame.

Important! Serve warm.
