Ingredients:

Halwa

• 4 cups carrot, grated
• 4 cups milk
• 6 tbsp. ghee or unsalted butter
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 tsp cardamom powder
• ¼ cup walnut, roughly chopped
• 5 almonds, blanched and slivered

Garnish

• Slivered almonds

Directions:

In a medium saucepan, heat ½ a tsp of ghee or butter and toast the slivered almonds. Once they turn brown, remove and set aside.

Wipe off the excess butter and add in the milk. Bring to a boil & allow to cook till the milk has reduced in half to about 2 cups.

In another frying pan, heat the rest of the ghee or butter and add in the carrots. Fry for about 7-8 minutes until the carrots become tender and darken in color.

Add in the milk and continue cooking until the mixture is no longer wet and liquid. About 8-10 minutes.
