Gajar halwa recipe

Ingredients

• 2 lb (900 g) carrots, grated (red Delhi carrots if you can find them)
• 4 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 4 tbsp ghee
• 6 green cardamom, ground
• 1/4 cup chopped cashews, almonds and pistachios
• 2 tbsp raisins

Method

1. Cook the grated carrots with the milk in a heavy pan, stirring often, until the milk is completely absorbed, about 40 minutes.
2. Add the ghee and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring, until the carrots glisten.
