Ingredients

4 hours
6-8 servings
  1. 2 kgcarrot
  2. 1.5liter full cream milk
  3. 1/2 cupghee
  4. 1 cupsugar or as per taste
  5. as requiredHandful nuts
  6. as required Cardamom seeds

Cooking Instructions

4 hours
  1. 1

    Trim the ends of the carrots and grate them.

  2. 2

    In a large pot, heat 1/4 cup of ghee on medium heat.

  3. 3

    Allow the carrots to cook, stirring occasionally. The carrots will release A lot of steam. We want to dry out the carrots as much as we can before adding the milk. This will take about 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the milk. Bring to an almost-boil then reduce the heat to medium.

  5. 5

    Continue to cook, uncovered, until the milk evaporates. This may take between 2-3 hours, depending on how much moisture is in your carrots and on your heat. It took me 2.5 hours. Remember to stir occassionally, especially during the last 30 minutes when the mixture will be drier and may begin to stick to the bottom of the pot.

  6. 6

    Once most of the moisture has evaporated, add in the ghee and sugar.

  7. 7

    Continue to cook on medium heat, stirring often, for about 25 minutes. You may begin to see the Halwa change colour to a deep autumn shade of orange and the ghee may begin to separate at the sides from the carrots.

  8. 8

    When done, turn off the heat and chop in half of your nuts. Garnish with the remaining nuts.

  9. 9

    Serve warm and enjoy!
