Carrot Halwa

Ingredients:

• Carrot - 1/2 kg
• Milk - 1 + 1/2 cups
• Condensed milk - 1/2 cup
• Sugar - 1/2 cup
• Ghee - 1 cup
• Cardamom powder - 1 tsp
• Cashew nuts - 10 to 15

Method:

Wash, peel and shred the carrots.
Heat the ghee in a cooker pan, fry the cashews. Drain the cashews and keep it aside. Now to this heated ghee add the shredded carrots and cook well, till the color changes to a darker shade.
Add a cup of milk and pressure cook (3 to 4 whistles). Stir it well and slightly mash the content and cook on low fire.
When the carrot is well cooked and the whole content thickens add the condensed milk and sugar. Stir often and cook on a low fire till the ghee comes out in the sides of the pan.
Add the fried cashew nuts and cardamom powder, mix well and serve.

Note: The remaining half cup of milk is optional if you feel the carrot is dried up add the half cup milk and cook. Do not wait for 3 to 4 whistles at a stretch. after 2 whistles turn of the stove, wait for a while, open and check, if needed add milk and cook again, we don't need the content to be dried up and burnt. adjust the condensed milk and sugar according to the taste and consistency. You can add either one or both. of course condensed milk will give a rich taste. You can of course break the cashews into small pieces, in this picture i haven't.
