How to Cook Carrot Halwa
- Wash, peel and grate the carrots and chop the cashew nuts. Soak the almonds in half a cup of hot water for five minutes then cool, peel and slice the nuts and keep them for garnishing. Wash the raisins and pat them dry.
- In a deep thick-bottomed pan, add the ghee then add the grated carrots and sauté for five minutes. Once the carrot shrinks add the milk and green cardamom powder and cook on medium heat for 5-6 minutes until the milk evaporates and the carrots are cooked.
- Add the sugar and cook, stirring all the time, for 2-3 minutes or until the sugar melts and mixes well. Garnish with the cashew nuts and almonds and serve either hot or cold... either way, it's quite delicious!
