Carrot Halwa
No body says no to the carrot Halwa prepared in ghee. N likes it very much, every day he bug me for some desserts after our dinner. I liked this recipe of halwa which is cooked in milk and tastes rich.
| Ingredients : | |
|---|---|
| Carrot | 10 nos |
| Milk | 1 cup |
| Ghee | 1/2 cup |
| Sugar | 3/4 cup |
| Orange Food Color | 1/4 tsp |
| Cardamom Powder | 1/4 tsp |
| Cashew nuts | 5 nos |
| Raisins | 5 nos ( Optional) |
-
Step 1
Peel the carrot skin and grate them. Fry Cashew and Raisin in a tsp of ghee. Don’t over fry raisin as it would taste bitter if it burns. Pressure Cook the grated Carrot along with Milk for 2 or 3 whistles. After the pressure is released from the cooker, open the lid and there will be still some milk left in the cooked Carrot.
-
Step 2
In a pan add Ghee, add the cooked Carrot & the remaining Milk and Orange Food color. Allow it to cook till all the milk is evaporated and the mixture becomes thick. Add the sugar at this stage and mix well till the halwa consistency is achieved.
-
Step 3
Add Cardamom powder, Cashew and Raisin.Allow it to cook down for 5 min and serve in low heat or keep it in Fridge for 30 and serve cold.
- Adding milk while cooking adds richness to Halwa. Milk can be skipped even.
- If you want it to be more sweet, more sugar can be added.
- If you don’t have a grater, it can be ground to a coarse paste and use it.
- More nuts can be added as per ur taste.
(*) Prepared this dessert for Tamil New Year 2009.
