Milk2 cups

Water2 cups

Sugar1⁄2 cup

Cardamom powder1⁄2 tsp

Ghee2 1⁄2 tbsp

Mixed and broken almonds and cashew1⁄2 cup

Raisins2 tbsp

Steps

Peel and grate carrots. Dry roast the nuts and chop once cooled.
In a heavy bottom pan, brink milk and water to boil. Add grated carrots and cooked on medium heat stirring often to avoid burning. Let the mixture cook for at least an hour on low heat.
When milk completely evaporates, add sugar and stir well. This will add moisture to the mix. Cook until the mixture thickens a bit.
Add ghee and saute until moisture evaporates completely and Halwa thickens. Sprinkle cardamom powder and mix well.
Garnish with nuts and raisins and serve warm.
Enjoy!
