MERI RASOI

Gajar ka Halwa is a favourite sweet for my whole family and they like it to be prepared in a particular way, carrots should never taste raw, hard or too soft. And here in Chennai we dont regularly get those red carrots.This time when my daughter came, it was her first choice, so I had no choice , but to make, since I was busy with other things in kitchen , I decided to make it in microwave, initially my daughter was quite skeptical, but when she tasted it she said..wow:) Here is the recipe.. easy to do. Carrots..500 gm 2 oo gm khoya 1tbsp. desi ghee 250 ml. full cream milk( standard will also do) 150 gm sugar or little more as per taste. 2 tbsp.finely chopped cashewnuts and almonds 1/2 tsp cardamom powder..optional. Peel, wash and grate the carrots. Put the carrots in a microwavable bowl ( I have that small cooker of Milton).add the milk. and put it for 10 minutes in microwave covered. Take out and check if the carrot is done, if not put it for another 5 minutes. Then take out...
