Carrot halwa (gajar ka halwa)

By Fatima Saib

Serves 4 to 6

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cooking Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

1 T ghee
20 g cashew nuts, roughly chopped
20 g sliced almonds, roughly chopped
20 g pistachios, roughly chopped
vanilla ice cream, for serving

For the halwa:

1 T ghee
1 kg carrots, washed, peeled, and grated
2 cups full-cream milk
200 g sugar
1 t ground cardamom

Method

1. Heat the ghee and nuts in a pan and fry for about 20 seconds, stirring continuously so that they don’t burn. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

2. To make the halwa, melt the ghee in the same pan. Add the carrots and sauté for 15–20 minutes, stirring continuously so they don’t burn.

3. Add the milk and sugar and cook, stirring, for another 20 minutes. The carrots will soak up the liquid. Add the cardamom and stir to combine.

4. Pour over the roasted nuts and serve with ice cream or as is. Serve hot or cold.
