CARROT HALWA

Today is the first day of my blogging; I want to start with a sweet dish, wishing that my journey in blogging will be sweet and pleasant. We don’t have sweet tooth in our house but this is one of the dish which we all enjoy on any day. Don’t calorie count on this dish as some of the Indian sweets must have ghee and whole milk to get the original taste.

Grated carrot shallow fried in ghee, cooked in whole milk (has to be the whole milk, doesn’t taste the same with low fat), decorated with nuts makes this dish simply irresistible.
