Classic Carrot Halwa

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash and peel the carrots. Grate them finely using a grater.

2. 2

   Heat the ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.

3. 3

   Add the grated carrots to the pan and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they soften.

4. 4

   Pour in the milk and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, until the milk is absorbed and the carrots are cooked.

   Add the sugar to the pan and mix well. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.

6. 6

   In a separate small pan, lightly roast the cashew nuts and raisins in a little ghee until the cashews are golden brown and the raisins are plump.

7. 7

   Add the roasted cashew nuts, raisins, and cardamom powder to the carrot mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

8. 8

   Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
