Gaajar Halwa - Carrot Pudding

This really is my mother's recipe! And I think its delicious and surprisingly healthy. Its an Indian recipe and is a recipe that every Indian mother cooks to perfection! However, with today's lifestyle, we might want to change a few thing in the recipe, and kudos to Mom, she did. She realized the importance of healthy living and shared this recipe and I thought why not share it with you too. Am sure you'll love it!

Ingredients

• Carrot - 1 Pound
• Milk - skimmed (I used Lactoid fat free) 2 cups
• Honey - As per taste
• Cardamom - 2
• Bay leaf - 1medium
• Saffron - 1/2 tsp
• Crushed Dry Fruit (any nuts and raisins of your choice)
• Rose water 1/2 tsp

Method

• Shred the carrots
• In a medium sized vessel, add all the ingredients except dry fruits and simmer
• Reduce it to a thick paste.
• Serve it hot or cold, but don't forget to sprinkle the dry fruit before you do.

Enjoy!
