Gajar Halwa

Mum's recipe, tried and tested. The fact that carrots were in season, ensured that Mum had to make us Gajar Halwa at least once during our three weeks at home.

Ingredients:

1 kg Carrots

1 Litre Milk

1/2 cup cream,

Sugar to taste

Powdered cardamom

Nuts/ Dry Fruits


Method:

Grate the carrots and transfer to a wok and cook on slow flame. Add milk, and continue cooking until the milk completely dries up. Add cream (ghee is a substitute) and sugar and continue stirring until dry. Add the powdered cardamom and roasted nuts.


Serve Hot.


When we were little, our job was to grate the carrots. Now my only job is to enjoy the halwa!
