Carrot Halwa
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons sunflower seed oil
  • 2 pounds carrots, grated
  • 1 1/2 quarts whole milk
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
  • 1 pinch saffron threads
  • 8 tablespoons chopped pistachio nuts
Instructions
1
Heat ghee in a large saucepan over medium heat and introduce the carrots, cooking them briefly for 3 minutes while stirring occasionally. Add milk to the saucepan and raise the heat; once boiling, continue cooking, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Lower the heat to a low setting and let the mixture simmer gently, uncovered, stirring occasionally until all moisture has evaporated, taking approximately 1 hour.
2
Return the carrot mixture to a boil; add sugar, raisins, cardamom, and saffron. Continue cooking the mixture until it has thickened, taking around 10 minutes.
3
Divide the carrot halwa into 8 individual serving dishes. Top each serving with a tablespoon of pistachios and serve warm, or chill before serving.
