Preparation:
Peel, wash and then grate carrots
In a non-stick kadhai, add 4 tbsps of ghee, fry the cashew nuts and then the almonds. Once they are slightly brown, keep them aside (hmm
smelling good!!)
Add the grated carrots in the remaining ghee now and fry till the carrots start losing the raw smell (and how do you check???...hey
just keep smelling it)
Pour the milk, once it's boiling reduce the flame, cook for about 20 minutes or until the milk is completely absorbed
To this, add sugar and keep stirring on medium flame (Adding sugar will make the halwa watery. So continue cooking till its soft and dry)
Add khoya. Cook on medium flame (approximately 15 minutes), stirring constantly
Turn off the fire when the halwa is still moist
Transfer in to a serving dish
Pour a tbsp of ghee on the top
Garnish with sliced almonds and cashew nuts
Serve it hot with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or refrigerate and serve chilled...
