SOBHNA'S | Gajjar - Carrot Halwa Recipe

Vegetarian - Vegan - Explorer

Serves 2

2 grated carrots
1 and 1/3 cup of milk (we used almond but you can use any milk)
1 cup of evaporated coconut milk
1-2 tablespoons sugar (to taste)
4-5 tablespoons saffron milk (made by warming 4-5 tablespoons milk in microwave and then stirring in 2-3 strands of saffron)
Small handful of sultanas
Small handful of chopped cashews
2 tablespoons of almond slivers
1/4 teaspoon of Sobhna’s Chai Masala

Add grated carrots into a pot on high heat, stirring in 1 1/3 cup of milk for approx. 15 minutes (or until the milk almost evaporates and carrots soften)
Stir in 1 cup of evaporated coconut milk, and simmer on a high heat for another 10-12 minutes. Keep checking and stirring every 2-3 minutes so it doesn’t burn or stick to the base of the pot.
Add sugar and stir continuously for 6-7 minutes so the sugar melts into the halwa.
Stir in the saffron milk and stir for another 3-4 minutes before adding the dried fruit and nuts.
You will notice the liquid evaporate and this is a sign that you are towards the end of the cooking process. Stir in the chai masala and serve.
This sweet dish is delicious chilled and served with ice-cream.
