What better way to celebrate.....than a gorgeous looking carrot halwa?? Best when served hot with some vanilla icecream.............Ahhhhhhhhhh..........Heaven!;)
INGREDIENTS:
3 big carrors, grated (525 g)3 to 4 tbsps ghee
1 1/2 cups milk
3/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp milk powder (optional)
1/4 tsp cardamom powder
8 raisins
15 cashewnuts, roughly broken
8 raisins
15 cashewnuts, roughly broken
5 almonds, sliced
PROCESS:
- heat the ghee in a non stick pan. fry the nuts till slightly browned. Add the raisin and then drain.
- In the same pan, add the grated carrots and saute for about 8 to 10 minutes till the raw smell goes and the colour becomes pale orange.
- Add the milk and slow cook the carrots. This might take long. Cook, till the carrots have absorbed the milk.
- Add the sugar and stir. The sugar will give you a nice glaze but it will become watery again. so cook and simmer again till nth emixture becomes dry and there is no more moisture left.
- add the milk powder. mix well.
- Add the cardamom powder and stir till the mixture has become thick and dry.
- garnish with fried nuts.
notes:
- make sure you use a non stick pan. It really helps
