• Grate the carrots in a grater that has medium-sized holes.
• In a heavy-bottomed pan, add the grated carrots and milk.
• Boil it in a medium flame stirring in between.
• Boil till the carrots are cooked and all the milk gets absorbed.
• If you are using sugar, don’t add condensed milk
• Add sugar at this stage and stir well.
• Add the milk masala. If not you can add cardamom powder.
• Switch off the flame and golden fry the nuts in ghee.
• Add to the carrot halwa.
• If you are using condensed milk, add at the final stage and stir till the mixture gets thickened.

If you are making in large quantities or lazy about grating carrots you can follow this method:

• Peel the skin of the carrots and wash them. Chop them roughly into pieces.
• Pulse this in a mixer. Add milk to this and pressure cook this for 2 whistles.
• Once done, add the cooked mixture to a pan and add condensed milk. Boil till the rest of the milk gets absorbed. This will take 10 minutes approximately.
• Serve hot.
• I served with vanilla ice cream since we all love this combo a lot.
