Milk-Reduced Carrot Halwa with Cashews and Raisins
  1. 1

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the carrots and milk. Bring to a boil and cook until most of the milk evaporates, about 10 minutes. Stir in the sugar and simmer until the mixture dries out. Stir constantly to prevent burning. Remove from the heat.

  2. 2

    Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the cashews and raisins, and cook until the cashews turn golden brown. Spread this over the carrot mixture. Sprinkle the top with ground cardamom for fragrance.
