Ingredients

Carrots (Gajar): 1 kg (fresh, red, and tender)
Milk: 1 liter (full-fat)
Sugar: 3/4 to 1 cup (adjust to taste)
Ghee (clarified butter): 4 tablespoons
Cardamom Powder: 1/2 teaspoon
Cashews: 10-12 (chopped)
Almonds: 10-12 (slivered or chopped)
Raisins: 2 tablespoons
Khoya (optional): 1/2 cup (grated)

Instructions
Step 1: Preparation
Wash and Peel: Wash the carrots thoroughly and peel them.
Grate: Grate the carrots using a medium-sized grater.
Step 2: Cooking the Carrots with Milk
In a heavy-bottomed pan or kadhai, add the grated carrots.
Pour the milk into the pan and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Lower the flame and simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and cook until the milk is reduced and absorbed by the carrots. This process will take about 30-40 minutes.
Step 3: Adding Sugar and Ghee
Add sugar to the mixture and stir well. The sugar will release water, so cook until the mixture thickens again.
In another pan, heat ghee and fry the cashews, almonds, and raisins until golden.
Pour the ghee and fried nuts into the halwa mixture. Reserve a few nuts for garnishing.
Mix well and continue cooking on low heat.
Step 4: Flavoring and Finishing
Add cardamom powder and mix thoroughly.
If using khoya, add it now and stir until it blends well with the halwa.
Cook until the mixture is dry, glossy, and aromatic.
Serving
Transfer the carrot halwa to a serving dish and garnish with reserved nuts and raisins.
Serve warm or chilled.
Tips for Best Results
Fresh Carrots: Use fresh and juicy carrots for better flavor and natural sweetness.
Milk: Full-fat milk gives a rich and creamy texture.
Khoya: Adds richness but can be skipped for a lighter version.
Ghee: Adds flavor and sheen. Do not skimp on it.
Stirring: Stir occasionally while cooking to avoid burning or sticking.

Enjoy your homemade Carrot Halwa, a perfect treat for festive occasions or indulgent cravings! 🍮
