Carrot Halwa / Easy 4 Ingredients Carrot Halwa

The very famous Carrot Halwa...who hasn't heard of it. It is a traditional Punjabi dessert packed with loads of Vitamin A. Here is a quick and easy 4 ingredients recipe. Love the colour and taste of this halwa.





INGREDIENTS
Recipe Source: My mom

Carrots 8-10 medium

Almonds 5-6

Condensed Milk 1 can (400gm)

Sugar 3/4 cup


METHOD

Peel, wash and grate carrots.
Pressure cook carrots along with sugar on low flame. Cook without water (1 whistle).
Blanch almonds in ½ cup water for 5 minutes. Drain cool and slice them thin.
Add condensed milk to the carrots and let it cook till it gets fully absorbed (in an open cooker).
Garnish with sliced almonds.
Serve hot/ refrigerate for 1 hour and serve.


Tips:
You can add 1 liter milk instead of condensed milk. But cook in an open pan till the milk fully evaporates and the carrot is cooked.
Raisins / Cashews can be used instead of Almonds.
