Ingredients:

Content	Quantity	Comment
Carrots	7-8 big	Peeled and grated
Sugar	1 cup	More if required
Unsweetened Khoya / Mawa	100 grams
Pista	1-2 tbsp	Blanched, peeled and chopped

Raisins	1-2 tbsp
Ghee	2 tbsp
Milk	½ cup

Method:

Take the grated carrots in a heavy bottom pan with milk and mix well. Cook covered on low flame till the carrots are soft. (You will know when you start getting the raw smell of carrots when cooked). Add sugar and allow it to dissolve completely while stirring occasionally. Add the khoya and mix well. Cook covered for a minute more. Take it off the stove.

Heat ghee in a small pan. Add the cashewnuts and raisins and roast till the cashewnuts change to light brown and the raisins are fluffy. Add this to the halwa along with chopped pista. Mix well.

Serve hot / cold.
