Carrot Halwa

This is my aunt Radhika's fantastic carrot halwa recipe. She makes it really well and I still remember the taste :)

Ingredients:

Finely Grate carrots -6 normal size
Measure the quantity of carrots & take sugar equal to half of this measure
1 cup milk
1/2 cup Sugarless Khoa/ Khova or 1/2 cup condensed milk
Saffron 3 strings
1/4 tsp elachi powder
raisins 2 tsp
Cashews 2 tbsp
2 tsp Ghee

Mix carrots and sugar together. Immerse in milk and boil. Once the carrot mixture cooks well, add khoa/ condensed milk and stir well. When it is about to form Halwa, add elachi powder and saffron. Mix well. Garnish with cashews and raisins (fried in ghee).
