GAJAR KA HALWA

Sometimes I treat myself with this mouthwatering carrot pudding. Very simple yet rich. Give it a try.

INGREDIENTS:
Carrot (peeled and grated) - 1kg or 2 lbs
Milk - 5 cups
Khoya - 100gms 
Ghee(clarified butter) - 3 tbsp
Sugar - 1 cup
Green cardamom powder - 1 tsp
Pistachio (blanched and chopped)- 2 tbsp

METHOD:

  • Heat milk in a large pan, combine grated carrot and cook it on medium heat until milk is completely absorbed by carrot.
  • Add sugar and continue cooking on low heat, stirring every now and then.
  • Mix in grated khoya and cook for another 8-10 mins. Keep stirring.
  • Now add ghee and keep cooking it on low heat. Never let it stick to the bottom.
  • After 10 more mins, add green cardamom powder and chopped pistachio.
  • Well, you can use any kind of nuts you want like cashew nuts, almonds or raisin.
  • You can store it in freeze for a week. Serve hot.

Makes 4-6 servings.
If you can get red carrots, I would suggest you to use it as it gives the dish nice red color and since they are sweet already so needs less sugar than usual.
