Carrot Halwa for bachelors

Today i tried to do carrot halwa. this is the recipe i followed:

1. Take some carrot, skin the outer layer and grate it finely.
2. Heat the thawa, add some oil/ghee and kindof fry the carrot so that the carrot doesnt smell the way it used to. My mom used to call it as "Pacchai" smell but god knows what that is!
3. Once that so called smell is gone, add sufficient milk and sugar and let the carrot boil in milk. add some resins as well. Keep the heat in medium so that the milk doesnt get burnt.
4. This is not a complex process - dont worry about the milk quantity or sugar quantity. just keep tasting it during the process and add as needed. Note: Do not add too much in the begining and end up taking the milk away later! better add in small quantities - show it you are the boss.
5. Keep heating it for a while till the carrot is boiled and the milk is dried. Adding some ghee during this process will help the milk to thicken quickly.
6. Take some bhadam and cashew, cut them into small pieces and add it along with some cardamom powder


you have yourself a good carrot halwa.

PS: if it doenst come good, dont worry too much. give it to your friends and get yourself a good halwa in shop :)
