ABOUT Carrot Halwa RECIPE

My mom's colleague Mrs. Shoba D'Souza had given her this recipe and though Mom never tried it, I have always made carrot halwa using her recipe as a guide but reducing the khoya and sugar.

Ingredients Serving: 8

1 kg grated carrots (use the red ones)
400 gms sugar
200 gms mawa/ khoya
3 - 4 pods green cardamom (powdered)
100 gms almonds (chopped)

Instructions

In a pan take the grated carrots and sugar. Mix well and heat on low fire.
Cover and cook till the carrot is soft and almost cooked. Keep checking and stirring at regular intervals. It will get cooked in the melted sugar. No water is required.
Add the mawa and almonds and mix well.
Add the cardamom powder and keep on stirring till all the moisture evaporates.
