  • 8 to 9 medium tender juicy carrots.
  • 4 cups milk
  • 4 tbsp ghee
  • 10 to 12 tbsp sugar
  • 20-25 whole cashews

In a deep thick bottomed pan combine milk and grated carrots.

stir well and continue to simmer and cook on a low flame.

do keep on stirring the gajar halwa in between.

towards the end, add the cashews, crushed saffron and raisins and simmer till all the milk is evaporated.
