Ingredients
- 4 cups grated carrots
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 4 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
- almonds sliced and pistachios for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of ghee over medium heat. Add the grated carrots and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they soften and release their moisture.
- Pour in the milk and bring it to a simmer. Cook the carrots in the milk, stirring occasionally, until the milk reduces and thickens, about 20-25 minutes.
- Add the sugar and cardamom powder to the pan and mix well. Continue to cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until the carrots are cooked through and the mixture reaches a thick, pudding-like consistency.
- Add the remaining ghee and stir to incorporate it into the halwa. Cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Remove the pan from the heat and garnish the Carrot Halwa with sliced almonds and pistachios.
- Serve the Carrot Halwa warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
