Carrot halwa/Gajar ka halwa and a reason to celebrate !


I have two reasons to celebrate today :-) This is my 150th post and I just noticed that I now have more than 100 friends following my little space. Thank you all, for inspiring and encouraging me to make this possible. Here's a sweet treat for you...

Wishing you all a Happy Pongal / Makara Sankranti.

Ingredients:

Carrots - 500 gms, peeled and grated(or shredded)
Hot Milk - 1.5 cups
Sugar - 1/2 cup + more if you like
Cardamoms -  5 (powdered or crushed)
Ghee - 2 tbsp or more
Cashewnuts and Raisins - as much as you like :-)

Preparation:

1. Heat ghee in a big pan and fry the cashewnuts and raisins till done. Drain to a small bowl. Keep aside.
2. In the same ghee, add the carrots and fry for sometime. When the colour of the carrots change, add the hot milk and stir well. After it boils, lower the flame and cook for few minutes. Add sugar and combine well. Cook till the carrot is done and the milk is almost absorbed.
3. Garnish with the fried cashewnuts and raisins.

Enjoy as it is or with Vanilla icecream...
