¼ cup milk powder
½ tsp. cardamom
5 tbsp. ghee
8 numbers almond chopped

PREPARATION
1.      Peel the carrots. Chop the carrots in a food processor. Place the chopped carrot in a microwavable dish. Cook for 3 minutes.
2.      Dissolve the milk powder in water and add it to the cooked carrots. Again cook the carrot mixture for 3 minutes.
3.      Add sugar to the mixture. Mix it well. Again cook the mixture for 3 minutes.
4.      Then add ghee. Mix well. Again cook the mixture for 2 minutes. Remove from the oven. Keep it aside.
5.      Fry the chopped almonds in little ghee.

6.      Add cardamom powder in the mixture and mix it well. Garnish it with fried almonds. Carrot Halwa is ready to serve.
