Carrot Halwa with Cashews


Preparations

Wash, peel and grate the carrots.

Place a wide-mouthed, heavy-bottomed vessel in Medium-High heat. [Wide-mouthed vessel so that the carrots get cooked fast and uniform.

Add the shredded carrots into the ghee and mix well.

Allow the milk to boil. Takes 5 minutes.

Let the carrots get cooked well in the milk. The carrots should drink in all the milk. This will take 20-30 minutes. Stir the content from time to time to prevent scorching.

Once the milk is completely drunk, add in the sugar. Mix well. Reduce flame to Medium. Stir at regular intervals.

Remove seeds from one cardamom pod and powder it.

Add the remaining ghee/clarified butter (4 tbsp.)
