Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons ghee or oil
-
2 pounds carrots, grated
-
1 ½ quarts whole milk
-
2 cups white sugar
-
½ cup raisins or sultanas
-
1 ½ teaspoons ground cardamom
-
1 pinch saffron threads
-
8 tablespoons chopped pistachio nuts
Directions
-
Heat ghee in a large saucepan over medium heat and add carrots. Cook and stir briefly, about 3 minutes. Pour in milk and increase heat; bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, uncovered, and stirring occasionally until moisture evaporates, about 1 hour.
-
Bring carrot mixture back to a boil; add sugar, raisins, cardamom, and saffron. Cook and stir until mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes.
-
Ladle carrot halwa into 8 individual serving dishes. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon pistachios. Serve warm or chill before serving.
Tips
Use a hand grater to prepare the carrots. Using a food processor makes them too watery.
