Carrot Halwa (गाजर का हलवा ) or Gajar Halwa

I am not much of sweet person but once in a while I like to treat myself. The recipe for this carrot halwa include two main ingredients one is shredded carrots and condensed milk.  With very little effort you will have this yummy desert ready in no time.

Ingredients:-
(1). 1 lb shredded organic carrot
(2).  1.5 can of organic condensed milk
(3).  10 to 12 pieces of unsalted cashews
(4).  8-10 raisins
(5).  Half teaspoon crushed cardamom powder
(6). 4-5 Charoli
(7). half table spoon ghee

Recipe:-
Greased deep nonstick pan with unsalted butter and put it on stove. Add ghee and shredded carrot cook it for medium flame about 3-5 minutes.this is optional step. Now add 1.5 can of organic condensed milk and cook it for about 15-20 mins on low to medium flame until all water evaporates from milk and it starts thickening. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking to pan.. Now add Charoli, raisins cashes and cardamom powder and cook for another couple minutes. Switch off the stove.

Serve hot. Or if you like me and you like cold halwa, put in one plate and make pieces with knife and refrigerate it.
