Carrot Halwa

Made this over the weekend for a friend. 

1 Kg Carrots grated
1 Litre Milk
3 cups sugar
50 gms  mava
4-5 cardamom pods crushed
10-15 almonds, raisins, cashews
4 tablespoons of Ghee
1 drop of pineapple essence

Method

Heat milk in a heavy bottom dish. Add the grated carrots to it and let it cook till the milk is reduced to 1/2 and the mixture is semi dry.

Add Mava to it and let is cook till the entire mixture dries up.  Now add the ghee, mix well.  Add the sugar and let it cook for another 10 minutes till the ghee leaves the sides and the halwa has nice color. Add 1 drop of pineapple essence.  Turn off the gas and garnish the halwa with chopped almonds, raisins, cashews.

PS : You can fry the nuts and garnish or for a healthier option, you can add the nuts after you add the mava and let is cook with the halwa.  This is what I did.

Enjoy !
