Steps:
- Wash carrots under running water & peel them.

GAJAR KA HALWA (CARROT HALWA)
Try this recipe if you want to know how to make traditional Indian gajar ka halwa, or carrot halwa. A lovely dessert anytime, I most recently made it for Diwali. This is the 'old school' method that uses whole milk, not condensed milk. You can use ghee instead of oil for initially cooking the carrots, if desired.

GAJJAR KA HALWA (CARROT HALWA)
When I was growing up in India, the arrival of the red carrots in winter was always the food highlight for my family. This is not a quick dessert, but it is exceptionally delicious.

Steps:
- In a large pan, bring the milk to a boil. Add the grated carrots to the pan and return the mixture to a boil.
- Add the cardamom pods and bay leaf to the pan. Lower the heat to prevent the milk from burning and continue to simmer the milk, stirring at regular intervals to prevent it from catching on the base of the pan.
- After approximately 2 hours, when all the milk has been absorbed, add the ghee or butter and the sugar. Continue to stir for a further 20 minutes until the sugar has dissolved and the carrot paste is moist but with no excess liquid let in the pan.
- Serve the carrot halwa while still warm. I prefer to bring a large serving bowl to the table, and encourage everyone to help themselves, taking as little or as much as their personal sweet tooth dictates! Alongside the halwa, serve bowls of almond or pistachio slivers, to scatter over the halwa, and thick whipped cream, to dollop on the side.
GAJAR KA HALWA (CARROT HALWA)
19th Feb 2002, a day I will cherish forever. A day that brought immense joy in my life. A day I was waiting for for so many months. I received from www.poetry.com, an anthology "Across the abyss" that contains 301 pages of delightful poetry written by amateur poets, mine was a part of it! I celebrated this day by serving this halwa to my parents and brother. They loved it, it's a rich sweet very popular in winter months and served at very special occasions! Try it, you will love it, GUARANTEED!
