Ingredients

Carrots (grated)             -  2 cup

Sugar                             -  1/2 cup

Milk                               -  1 cup

Ghee                              -  2 tablespoon

Cardamom powder       -  One pinch

Cashew nuts                  -  As required

Preparation

• Heat ghee in a pan. Roast the cashew nuts and keep aside. 
• Then boil the milk in a pan. Add the grated carrots to it. Stir occasionally. Cook until the milk has completely evaporated. 
• Add sugar, cardamom powder and ghee to it and mix well. Sugar will release a lot of moisture. Continue to cook until the halwa thickens. 
• Transfer the halwa to a bowl and garnish with nuts. Now your halwa is ready. Serve the carrot halwa warm or chilled.

Useful tips:

• Always use fresh carrots that are less fibrous. 
• You can also use almond, saffron, and pistachios for garnish the halwa.
