    Carrot halwa is one of my all time favourite deserts, i make it more often than any other sweets. I make it lots of different way and each time it turn out to be good. Carrots are a great veg for deserts, anything made out of it taste yum, like american carrot cake and my carrot raisan cake.

    Few weeks back, when we went to our near by bakery. I was looking at their sweets section. I found a lovely looking orange colour burfi on their sweets array. Loved it so much, i bought couple of pieces for taste. When i came home, i tasted it and it was like kalakand. I am sure they used chenna in that. I wanted to try my version if it.

    Preparation Time : 10 mins
    Cooking Time : 45 mins to 1 hour
    Makes : 20 pieces


    Ingredients:

    Carrots - ½ kg
    Milk - ½ liter
    Sugar - 1.5 cup
    Condensed Milk / Milkmaid - ½ cup
    Milk Powder - 2 tblspn
    Ghee - ¾ cup
    Cardamom Powder - 1 tsp
    Badam / Almonds - 3 tblspn chopped
    Pistachios - 2 tblspn chopped
    Saffron a pinch
    Red Food Colouring a pinch


    Method:

    Take carrots and little milk in a blender and make it into a coarse puree. Set aside.

    Heat 2 tblspn of ghee in a heavy bottom kadai. Add in the puree and cook till the mix gets dry and raw smell leaves from carrot.

    Now add in milk and cook till the carrot is cooked and milk is evaporated.

    Add in sugar and mix well. Keep cooking till it gets little thick.

    Now mix condensed milk with some milk powder and add it to the carrot.

    Add in food coloring if using and mix well.

    Add in ghee spoonful at a time and keep cooking till it gets thick.

    It will get really thick and starts to leave the sides.

    Now heat a tsp of ghee and fry some badam in it. Pour this over the barfi and mix well.

    Add in cardamom powder and mix as well.

    Now pour this into greased pan and let it set for 4 to 5 hours.

    Now cut into slices and serve.

    Notes:

    1)This burfi will be on the softer side. But taste really yummy.
    2)Instead of setting it as burfi, you can spoon it into bowls and serve as halwa.
