Method:

  1. Heat a tablespoon of ghee and add carrots and saute the carrots in ghee for 3-4 minutes
  2. Cover the pan with a lid and steam cook the carrots till they are soft
  3. Then, add a cup of milk and stir well. Let the carrots gets cooked with the milk till all the milk are completely absorbed
  4. When the milk is fully absorbed, add sugar and cardamom powder. Adding sugar again dilutes the halwa mixture. 
  5. Keep stirring in regular intervals till the halwa mixture becomes thick. Add mawa / Khoya and mix well. Adding khova not only makes the halwa thicker but also enhances the flavor and speeds up the whole process
  6. Add 2 tablespoon of ghee and stir well. Let the ghee gets incorporated with the halwa. Then add another tablespoon of ghee and keep the flame low till the halwa comes as a single mass rolling without sticking to the sides of the pan. If we take a little halwa mixture and rolls into a ball, then that is the correct consistency
  7. Finally garnish with slivered Almonds and Pistachios. We can add raw cashews or we can ghee roast the cashews and add it to the halwa and mix everything well 
  8. Serve the delicious Carrot Halwa (Gajar Ka Halwa) warm or even as a topping in vanilla ice cream and enjoy this rich and delightful dessert!
