Carrot Halwa ( Gajar Ka Halwa )
*************************************

Ingredients :

• 2 kg.  carrots
• 250 to 300 gm.  sugar
• 1/2 cup Ghee ( clarified butter ) or cooking oil
• 250 gm. Khoya 
• 4-5 green cardamoms ( crush the seeds )
• 8 - 10 almonds and pistachio, sliced

Method:

• Wash, peel and coarsely grate the carrots. 
• In a pan, add carrots and sugar. Cook, covered, on medium heat until the carrots are tender and the water dries up.  
• Now add ghee and cook, stirring continuously on high heat till the mixture leaves the sides of the pan.
• Turn off the heat, add khoya and ground cardamom.
• Cover and leave it for 15 minutes, before mixing it well.
• Transfer the mixture to a serving plate. Garnish with nuts, extra khoya and boiled egg slices; if desired.
• Serve hot.

Note:

• Khoya is basically dried milk used in many sweet dishes. You can replace it with dry milk powder. Take dry milk powder in a bowl. Add just enough milk to form a stiff dough. Crumble with your hands. Or wrap and freeze it for an hour, then grate it.
