Today's recipe is an exotic and colorful halwa made with carrots for the blogging marathon #23 and the theme I chose is carrot in different ways.
When I selected theme wanted to make carrot cake but due to so many personal works couldn't do the baking.So ended up in making carrot halwa.Now on to the recipe...........

Ingredients

Ingredient	Quantity
Carrot(grated)	31/2-4cups
Milk	21/2cups
Sugar	3/4-1cup
Ghee	3tbs
Cashews/mudiriparuppu	10nos.
Almonds/badam	6nos.
Cardamom powder/ellakai podi	1/2tsp

Method

Grate the carrot in a grater,in a pan heat 1/2tsp of ghee and roast the cashews and almond and keep it aside.In the same pan add 1tbs of ghee and saute the carrot till tender. Now add the milk.

Now add the milk,cook it in a medium flame and stir it continuously till the milk gets evaporated.

Once the mixture becomes thick add the sugar and mix it well.Add the ghee and cook it till it leaves the sides of the pan.

Finally add the cardamom powder and fried cashews,almonds.mix it well.

Carrot Halwa is ready.

Enjoy....................................

Saffron can be added for extra flavor.
Instead of regular milk evaporated milk can be used and unsweetened can be added for rich taste.
Tastes better when it is warm and enjoy it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
