CARROT HALWA

-




I really loved the original Indian sweets. Among the desserts that are favoured by me is Laddhu and Janggiri. Halwa is one of the dessert favorite of my husband. When I saw the recipe of Carrot Halwa, my heart started looking forward to trying it. Normally I like all dishes  based by carrots. So, I was looking for the right time to try this recipe. I adapted this recipe from Vidya Kitchen. This recipes look easy, but we need to always stirring the pot. If not, halwa will burnt later.


I was lucky, because this recipe is quite successful for me. It was very tasty. It tastes very sweet, we can only eat a little for one time. But my daughter loves to eat this Halwa. Maybe it’s sweet and soft. I feel very comforted to see my daughter love this dessert.

Method :-



  1.           Wash and peel the carrots. Grate them using a grater. Heat ghee in a  pan, add grated carrots and stir fry  for about 10 minutes.
  2.       When the carrots begin to leave the sides, add milk and sugar  and cook on a medium flame. Simmer till the mixture thickens.

  4.     Garnish with  toasted cashews and pistachios on top. Serve      carrot halwa  either hot or cold.
