Gajar (Carrot) Halwa

A mouth watering sweet Carrot Halwa. It very healthy especially for kids who are very picky about the veggies.
Ingredients
Carrots - 1/2 kg
Milk - 1 and 1/2 cups
Sugar - 6 - 8 spoons
Ghee - 2 to 3 spoons.

Process
1. Peel the carrots and cut in big chunks
2. Grind the carrots with milk.
3. In a pan but the carrot and milk mixture.
4. Let it cook in slow flame till all water evaporates, stirring occasionally. This process make take about 2 hours. (I do all of my other work or watch a movie while making halwa).
5. Once done add sugar and stir for another 5 - 10 minutes ...again occasionally.
6. Now add ghee and stir for another 5-10 minutes.
7. Halwa is ready.


It tastes very good with Gulab Jamun, Ice Cream. I usually make Halwa in big batches as it stays fresh in refrigerator for weeks.
