Instructions
- 1
Sauté the Carrots: Heat 2 tbsp of ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan or kadhai over medium heat. Add the grated carrots and sauté for 5-8 minutes until they slightly change color and shrink.
- 2
Simmer in Milk: Pour in the 4 cups of milk. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let it cook uncovered.
- 3
Reduce: Stir occasionally to prevent the milk from sticking to the bottom. Continue cooking for about 30-40 minutes until all the milk has evaporated and the carrots are soft and pudding-like.
- 4
Sweeten: Add the sugar. The mixture will become watery again as the sugar melts. Continue to cook for another 10 minutes until the moisture evaporates completely.
- 5
Roast Nuts: In a separate small pan, heat the remaining 2 tbsp of ghee. Fry the chopped nuts until golden brown.
- 6
Finish: Pour the ghee and nuts over the halwa. Sprinkle the cardamom powder. Sauté the halwa on medium heat for the final 5 minutes to give it a glossy finish. Serve warm or cold.
