Carrot halwa

Carrot halwa is the most popular & frequently made sweet in India. This is made with carrot and milk as the main ingredients. This is more of manual oriented but believe me the end will be really appreciable.

It can be served with vanilla icecreams & even with gulab jamum. Adding little red food color is an optional. This can be stored in the fridge for couple of days & warm them before serving.
