Ingredients
- 500 grams Grated carrots
- 500 ml Almond milk
- 50 grams Erythritol
- 50 grams Ghee
- 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 20 grams Almonds, sliced
- 20 grams Pistachios, sliced
- 20 grams Cashew nuts
- 1 pinch Saffron strands
Directions
Step 1
Peel and grate the carrots using a food processor or a hand grater.
Step 2
In a thick-bottomed pan, heat the ghee over medium flame.
Step 3
Add the grated carrots to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are slightly soft and the raw smell fades.
Step 4
Pour almond milk into the pan, reduce the heat to low, and let the carrots cook in the milk. Stir occasionally to prevent them from sticking to the bottom.
Step 5
Once the milk reduces to half, add the erythritol, cardamom powder, and saffron strands, and mix well.
Step 6
Continue cooking until the milk completely evaporates and the mixture thickens to the desired consistency.
Step 7
In a separate small pan, lightly toast the almond slices, pistachios, and cashew nuts until they are golden brown.
Step 8
Stir the toasted nuts into the halwa.
Step 9
Serve warm, garnished with a few more toasted nuts and saffron strands, if desired.
