Peel and grate the carrots using a hand grater (use the thicker side of the grater). Add the grated carrots to a pan and turn heat to medium-high.
Stirring often, saute for around 10 minutes until all the moisture dries out. Remove the pan from heat and set it aside.

Add milk. let it boil. Meanwhile, fry cashews in 1 tablespoon of ghee until they turn golden brown in color and set aside. milk will reduce to less than half. stir the milk very often when it's reducing. add the grated carrots and stir. I like to scrape the sides of the pot (which has that malai/thickened milk stuck to it) and mix it with the halwa.

Add in the sugar. the sugar will melt and the halwa will become very liquid again. Continue to cook the halwa. Add 1tsp ghee, cardamom powder. keep cooking for 15minutes more. Add fried dry fruits.

Serve hot.
