Carrot Halwa / Gajar ka Halwa is one of the recipes that comes out well every time I make...And thats the 9th wonder in my case....;) Here goes the recipe from my kitchen...

Carrot Halwa Recipe  - Ingredients

• Carrot grated - 1.5 cups
• Sugar - 1/4 cup
• Milk - 1 cup
• Broken cashews - 1/2 tbsp
• Cardamom powder - a pinch [optional]
• Cashews - 5 to 6 broken and few whole cashews 
• Ghee - 1 tbsp

Method:
1.Wash carrots, peel of the skin and grate them, set aside.Heat ghee in a pan and roast the cashews till golden brown and keep it aside. In the same pan, add grated carrot.Saute it in medium flame till raw smell leaves and it shrinks in volume.

2.Add milk, sugar and allow it to boil till carrot becomes soft and gets cooked.It may take around 7-10mins.

3.Continue to cook until the halwa gets thick, the ghee gets seperated and will come out on the sides of the pan.Add the cardamom powder, mix well, garnish with nuts and serve.Serve hot with a scoop of vanilla icecream - YUM!!
My Notes: 

• Saute the carrots well until raw smell completely leaves before adding milk.

• You can add a tbsp of paneer / sweetened khoya for more richness.

• Adjust sweetness according to your preference.

• You can even add 1:1 ratio for carrot:milk.
