Ingredients




4 cups Carrots, peeled - grated
1 tablespoon Ghee, clarified butter
2 Thsp Nuts ( almonds + cashew + pistachios)
1 teaspoon of Raisins
1 cup Sugar
3 cups Milk
3 tablespoons Khoa / Mawa / paneer
2 teaspoons Green Cardamom powder, finely crushed

Preparation

1 Method: 2 In a non stick wide bottomed pot, add ghee, as it melts add nuts and slightly roast it, do not make it brown. 3 Now add grated carrots, milk and let it cook in an open pot on medium flame untill cooked, with constant stirring. 4 Once the water is evaporated from carrots, add sugar & khoa, cook untill the sugar syrup is thickened. 5 Switch off the gas/flame, and add cardamom powder. Serve hot. 6 Note: 7 Using a wide bottomed pot makes it easier & it gets cooked faster. 8 Instead of using khoa/ mawa, you can aslo use paneer from curdled milk. It will only give that rich taste which is much needed in this recipe. 9 Enjoy this carrot pudding/halwa warm or cold. Can be also added with vanilla ice-cream.. 10 Stays fresh in fridge for atleast a week.
