Sumptuous Carrot Halwa

I have been making this like forever…

Ingredients:
4 cups finely grated carrot.
1 ½ cup sugar.
½ cup milk.
½ cup ghee.
½ cup crushed cashews, badam and raisins.
1 pinch saffron or orange food color.

Preparation:
1. In a pressure pan, add a teaspoon of ghee and fry the cashews, badam and raisins. When golden brown, remove from the pan along with ghee and keep aside.
2. In the pan, add the grated carrots and milk and pressure cook for three whistles.
3. After pressure is released, remove the lid. Mix the saffron or food color to a little milk and add to the contents in the pan and mix.
4. In low flame keep stirring the contents till the milk is almost absorbed. Now, add the sugar and mix for a minute in medium flame.
5. Add ghee and stir till the halwa comes to a consistency where it doesn’t stick to the sides of the pan and ghee separates.
6. Finally, add the fried dry fruits and serve hot.

Note:
Some people add a little khoa to the halwa. You can add that if you like the halwa to be a little sticky. Just add the khoa before adding the ghee.
