Gajar halwa

What to get ready

• Carrot 1.8 kg
• Powdered milk 400 g
• Ghee 280 g
• Sugar 360 g
• Cardamom 20 g
• Cashews 160 g
• Raisins 140 g
• Saffron threads 0.8 g

Method

1. 1 Grate the carrots into thin strips, then squeeze out the excess water to make the dish drier.
2. 2 Why soak the shredded carrots in ghee for 25 minutes without adding any milk?
3. 3 The absence of milk is what distinguishes this carrot pudding from the regular version; the resulting mixture is thinner, more granulated, and has a stronger ghee flavor.
4. 4 Add the milk powder and stir for another 12 minutes until the mixture becomes fluffy and turns a dark yellow color.
5. 5 Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves. Sugar causes the mixture to release water, so you must stir until the liquid evaporates.
6. 6 Mix cardamom and saffron together, then sprinkle with cashews and roasted ghee raisins.
