Wash, peel, and grate fresh red winter carrots finely.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Wash, peel, and grate fresh red winter carrots finely.

In a heavy-bottomed kadai, add grated carrots and full cream milk. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until all milk is absorbed and carrots turn soft (about 35 mins).

Add pure desi ghee and roast the halwa continuously on medium-low flame for 15 minutes until rich aroma develops.

Add sugar and mix well. The halwa will loosen; keep stirring until moisture evaporates and ghee separates.

Stir in crumbled mawa (khoya) and cardamom powder.

Garnish with golden fried cashews, almonds, and pistachios in ghee. Serve warm.
