Hello Friends....

Am here again with my new recipe....this time for all with the sweet tooth....the  evergreen gajar ka halwa....in an healthier avatar....so here it goes....

Ingredients:

5 carrots (peeled and grated)
Olive oil 6 tbsp (any other white oil which is healthy)
Sweetened Condensed Milk about 400 gms
Milk about 1 litre(if you are not using condensed milk)
Sugar 6 tbsp or as per your taste(if you are not using condensed milk)
Cardamom powder about 1/3 tsp or 8-9 cardamoms crushed
Raisins 2 tbsp or as much as you want
Nuts as per your requirement.

P.S. it serves two

Procedure:

Step 1:Warm some water and let your raisins and nuts stay in that.

Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a wok/deep pan.

Step 3: Put in the grated carrot and stir till it is limp on medium heat.

Step 4: At this stage if you are using condensed milk then pour in the  condensed milk into the pan. Stir and mix with the carrot

If you are using milk then pour in the milk. Once the milk starts boiling put the sugar and mix thoroughly. In case you are using milk you will have to wait till the milk reduces to half with continuous stirring in between.

Step 5 : Mix the cardamom powder/crushed cardamom with the carrot mixture. Let the mixture cook for another 4-5 min.

Step 6: And now you can mix the raisins and the nuts. Check the sweetness and adjust it accordingly.
