Carrot halwa | Gajar ka halwa is the easiest and delicious sweet recipe that can be made jiffy.The best thing about this sweet is it takes very less ghee unlike other halwa recipes. I made this for my daughter’s birthday . This is one of her favourite sweets.We love to have it with vanilla ice cream.. Usually carrot halwa is prepared with khoya or condensed milk (milk maid). But I made it in a very simple way with milk using pressure cooker. I followed my cookbook recipe for the preparation and it came out very well. If u want, you can cook the carrots in milk in low flame in an open pan which gives more taste. As I wanted to make it quick I followed the pressure cooker version. For more rich taste , a paste of almonds and cashews can be added at the end..Try this easy version , u’ll love it for sure

INGREDIENTS
 1 cup - 200ml

Grated carrots – 2 cups (levelled) Milk – 1 cup Sugar – 1/3 cup Ghee – 2 tbsp Cashews – few Elachi – 3 nos powdered

METHOD

Wash & Grate carrots using a big size grater and set aside. Heat 1 tbsp of ghee in a pressure cooker base and roast the cashews till golden brown. Remove the cashews alone leaving ghee in the pan. Now add the grated carrots and saute till the raw smell of carrot emanates.. Saute for 3-4 minutes. Carrots will turn slightly pale orange in color.          Then add the milk and pressure cook in high for 2-3 whistles. Remove the lid and allow to boil for sometime till all the milk is absorbed by the carrot.         Now add the sugar and mix well till sugar dissolves.Then add the elachi powder and mix well.The halwa thickens and it starts to leave the sides of the cooker. Now add the remaining 1 tbsp of ghee & roasted cashews, mix for a minute and serve..Make sure the mixture has some moisture , do not make it dry else it will become very thick after it cools down..         It tastes the best when served warm with ice cream !!
