Gajar Halwa

Serves 8

Ingredients:

2 pounds grated carrots

7 cups whole milk

1/4 cup raisins

1/4 cup chopped cashews

1/4 cup chopped almonds

1 and 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup ghee

8 powdered cardamoms

Directions:

You can use a food processor to grate the carrots or you can grate it manually. Add milk to the carrots and bring it to boil. Turn the heat to medium and let the carrots cook in the milk for an hour and a half. Add cashews, almonds, and raisins. Keep stirring so the carrots and the milk does not stick to the bottom of the pan. When the milk completely evaporates, add sugar. It will leave some water, let the water dry, then add ghee and fry the halwa on high heat for a few minutes. Turn off the heat, add cardamom powder and mix it well. Serve hot.
