Ingredients
- 500 grams Carrots (grated)
- 2 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 6 tablespoons Coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil or vegan butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoons Cashews (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Almonds (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Raisins
- 1 tablespoon Shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and peel the carrots. Grate them using a box grater or food processor for ease.
Step 2
Heat a large non-stick pan or deep skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil or vegan butter.
Step 3
Add the grated carrots to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they soften slightly and release a mild aroma.
Step 4
Pour the almond milk into the pan and stir well. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 5
Lower the heat to medium-low and cook the carrots in the almond milk for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the milk is mostly absorbed.
Step 6
Mix in the coconut sugar and cardamom powder. Stir well and continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy.
Step 7
Add the chopped cashews, sliced almonds, and raisins. Mix thoroughly and let cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Remove from heat and transfer the halwa to a serving bowl. Garnish with shredded coconut if desired.
Step 9
Serve warm as a dessert or refrigerate and enjoy chilled as per preference.
