Receipe 3: Carrot Halwa

This new year, i was in a mood of having some sweet. But i was lazy too. So Carrot Halwa came to the rescue!

Carrot halwa's cooking time is hardly 15 mins (includin' grating of the carrot). I guess its a bit healthy than other sweets. So what are we waiting for! Lets start.

What you need!

Carrots (One big carrot serves one)
ghee
sugar
cashews
elachi
saffron (optional)

Le Method:

Step 1:

Grate the carrots. Once you are done grating, heat some ghee in a pan and start frying the grated carrots. Fry it till it gets cooked. Don't over fry it though. Alternate option is cooking it in a cooker. But the risk is it might get over-cooked. So frying in a pan with ghee is the safer and tastier option. It should get cooked within 5-7 mins. Keep it aside.

Step 2:

Make sugar syrup. Just boil some water and add sugar. The measure depends. The quantity must be just enough to submerge the grated and fried carrot. Instead of adding the carrot to the syrup, I would suggest adding the syrup to the carrot. This way, you can be sure that the quantity is right. After adding the sugar syrup to the carrot, mix it well and let it cook for around 5 mins. In the meanwhile add fried cashewnuts, powdered elachi and saffron if you have some.

Voila .. its ready to serve.. huh eat!

Note : You can also cook it with milk. Thats a variation.
