Hướng dẫn

Preparation:

Wash carrots under running water & peel them.

Grate them in a food processor or with a hand grater.

Next bring milk to a boil in a heavy bottom pot or deep pan.

Add grated carrots and cook on a medium heat stirring often. Do not leave the pot unattended as the milk will get scorched.

When the milk has completely evaporated add sugar and stir well. Sugar will release lot of moisture & will make the entire carrot halwa gooey.

Cook until half of the moisture evaporates, then stir in the ghee.

Saute the carrot halwa well in ghee until the moisture evaporates completely.

When it is done gajar halwa turns aromatic & thickens. It will still be moist. If you overcook your halwa turns dry. Sprinkle cardamom powder.

Garnish carrot halwa with nuts. Serve warm or chilled with Ice cream.
