Carrot halwa

  • Sugar – 1/4 cup
  • Milk – 1 cup
  • Broken cashews – 1/2 tbsp

  • Ghee – 1 tbsp
Carrot halwa
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.
Carrot halwa2.Add milk, sugar and allow it to boil till carrot becomes soft and gets cooked.It may take around 7-10mins.

    Love the color of the carrot halwa. Almonds go equally good with the halwa methinks.
