Steps

1

Wash carrots under running water. Peel them and grate in a food processor or with a hand grater. Set this aside.
2

Dry roast nuts on a low heat until crunchy. You can also chop them first and fry in ghee if you prefer.
3

Next bring milk to a boil in a heavy bottom pot or deep pan, add grated carrots and begin to stir.
4

Cook until the milk has completely evaporated. Keep stirring constsntly in between to prevent burning.
5

Add sugar and stir. Sugar would release lot of moisture, cook until half the moisture evaporates.
6

Continue to cook until the moisture evaporates and the halwa thickens, add grated khoya at this stage. Stir and cook for just 2 to 3 mins.
7

Garnish carrot halwa with nuts and serve.
