Gajar ka Halwa (Carrot Halwa)


I love sweets.. and this one for my sweet tooth. :D
Many recipes I found for Gajar Ka Halwa, combining those, I have devised my own way of cooking this. I really don’t mind making it rich and with lots of dry fruits because it’s made once in a while.  Below is my version.





Ingredients:-

2 cups shredded carrots
2 cups milk
½ cup water
¼ cup sugar
½ teaspoon cardamom powder
Cashew nuts
Raisins
Butter

Preparation:-

Put the water to boil, when it starts boiling add the grated carrots. Cook for 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
Boil the milk on medium-high heat in a non-stick pan until it is reduced to about to 1 cup. Stir often to ensure the milk does not burn in the bottom of the pan.
Add the cooked carrots to the milk Add sugar, mix well and cook till the sugar has dissolved and all the milk has been absorbed.
add cardamom powder and stir-fry for another three to four minutes until the halwa starts to leave the side of frying pan.
Roast the cashew nuts and raisins for the garnish.
