Steps

1

Dry roast nuts on a low heat until crunchy. Set aside to cool and chop them.
Next bring milk to a boil in a heavy bottom pot or deep pan. Add grated carrots and begin to stir. Cook until the milk has completely evaporated.
2

Add sugar and stir. Sugar would release lot of moisture.
Cook until half the moisture evaporates.
Add ghee and stir well.

Continue to cook until the moisture evaporates and the halwa thickens. If you like you can add grated khoya at this stage. Stir and cook for just 2 to 3 mins.Garnish carrot halwa with nuts. Serve Warm or chilled.
