Gajar (Carrot) Halwa

There are many benefits of eating carrot. It helps in improving vision, healthy skin, protects teeth and gums and many more. If there are so many benefits of it then why not make it in form of dessert and enjoy? I made Gajar Halwa out of it and it turned out really good.

To make Gajar Halwa you will need :-

4-5 medium sized gajar/carrots shredded
4-5 cups of milk
6-7 seeds of cardomom
5-6 tablespoon of sugar (adjust to your taste)
1/4 cup cashews chopped
1/4 cup rasins
5-6 tablespoon ghee

Wash carrots properly and remove their skin lightly with the help of knife. Shred them properly. Take a non-stick open pan and add ghee to it. Allow ghee to get hot. Add shredded carrot to it and saute it till it gets little tender. Add milk (I have taken 2% milk) and mix well. Keep stirring at low to medium flame. When the mixture comes to half of its consistency then add cashews, rasins and sugar to it and mix well. It will take almost an hour to get absorbed all the milk. After the milk gets absorbed add cardamom powder and mix well. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Enjoy this tempting dessert on cold winter days................
