Gajar/Carrot Halwa


You need -
6-7 medium sized carrots
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp powdered cardamom
10-12 cashew nuts
5 tsps ghee

What you have to do -
- Grate the carrots and set aside
- On low flame, in a pan, crush and roast the cashew nuts
- Take the nuts out once they're golden brown and then add the carrots (add more ghee if you want it richer)
- Cook carrots until the raw smell goes away
- Once they're soft, add the sugar, powdered cardamom and the milk
- Cook for another 10 minutes and take it down from the flame
- Garnish with the roast cashew nuts

Serve hot with ice cream!
