Cooking time- 10-15 minutes
Serve 3-4
Ingredient-
4 cup peeled and grated carrot
1/2 cup Ghee
15tbsp Sugar
1 cup Mawa (Khoya)
1/2 tsp – Elaichi powder( green Cardamom)
1 tbsp- Blanched chopped Almond (Badam)
1 tbsp- Kismis (Raisins)
1 tbsp- chopped Kaju (Cashew nut)
1 tbsp- chopped pista( pistachio )
Method--
*Heat 2 tbsp ghee in non stick pan. Add carrots and sugar mix well.
*Saute for on medium flame for 2-3 minutes. Cover it by lid and cook it on lower flame for 3-4 minutes or till the carrots become soft or tender, while stirring occasionally.
*Open the lid,add remaining ghee.
Cook it on medium flame for another 2 minutes, while stirring occasionally.

My mom tips-
* Always peel gajar before making halwa.
*Always check the heat as required, because it will burn the carrot.Burnt carrot taste bitter.
*Always grate the carrot thick in texture. Use thick hole grating grater while grating the carrot.
Thickly grated carrots are good for halwa texture as well as in taste also.
*Always use desi ghee while making halwa.
Do not cut the quantity of ghee while making carrot halwa.
Because it's make halwa rich and royal.
* Use as possible as homemade mawa( khoya),because it is 100% pure and it taste good than shop bought one.
* Do not use milk in while cooking carrot halwa because it will coat the grated carrots make a layer on it seems very unattractive and diminish in looks.
*Always cook the grated carrots in a sugar in first few minutes of cooking time.
