When it comes to nolen gurr, every Bengalis mouth starts watering..Nolen Gurr is basically jaggery made out of dates. Its very famous in our West Bengal. And winter season means all the grocery stores will be full of nolen gurr. You will get varieties of sweets made from it, especially during winter season. The best time to get this is from December to February. Now let's bring some twist in regular "Gajar ka Halwa".

First grate the carrots and lerp them aside. Now heat a pan & add 2 tbsp of ghee in it. Now fry the chopped cashews and raisins and keep them aside.

Now add some more ghee and put the grated carrots in it. Now lower the flame, cover the pan and fry the carrots until it turns little mushy. You will notice that the colour of the carrot mixture has now changed.

Then open the lid and add milk to it. Mix it well. Cover the pan and cook for on a low flame for about 10 mins. Once the milk started absorbing by the carrots, add the mawa/khowa in it and mix everything well. You will notice that it will now turn little watery consistency.

Then I have added all the fried cashews and raisins in it and mix them well once again.
