Gajar Ka Halwa/Carrot Halwa

Ingredients

Carrot - 250gms
Milk - 600 ml
Condensed Milk - 1/4 cup [Optional]
Sugar - 1/4 cup
Cashewnut - 10
Raisins - 10
Cardamom - 1
Ghee - 4 tsp

Method

    
In a pan add 2 tsp of ghee and carrot,saute them until the raw smell vanishes.Carrot must be soft and dry.Add milk and allow it to boil.Add the condensed milk and cook on medium flame.Cook until all the milk is absorbed by the carrot.It is time to add sugar and mix well.Remove from flame.
   In a separate pan,heat the remaining ghee and roast cashewnuts and raisins.After roasting allow it to cool,so the cashews become crisp n crunchy.Add the roasted ingredients to the carrot halwa and sprinkle cardamom.Serve after an hour so the sugar is nicely absorbed by carrot.

Tip :
1.Refrigerate it and serve cold.This enhances the taste of the halwa.
2.To make it different recipe,serve with Ice cream and your Gajar Ka Halwa with Ice Cream is ready.Isnt that a quick recipe???
