- Peel and grate the carrots using a hand grater. Add the grated carrots to a pan and turn heat to medium-high. Stirring often, sauté the carrots for around 10 minutes until all the moisture dries out. Remove pan from heat and set it aside. To a heavy bottom pan, add milk. With heat on medium-high, stir the milk often and let it come to a boil. Once the milk comes to a boil, lower the heat to medium and let the milk boil and reduce until it reduces to at least half. Meanwhile, fry cashews in 1 tablespoon of ghee until they turn golden brown in color and set aside. Back to the milk, after around 20-25 minutes, the milk will reduce to less than half. At this point add the grated carrots and mix it with the halwa. Keep stirring the halwa often on medium heat and cook until all the milk is absorbed by the halwa and it reduces to milk soilds. This will take anywhere between 10-20 minutes. At this point add in the sugar. Once you mix in the sugar, the sugar will melt and the halwa will become very liquidy again. Continue to cook the halwa, stirring constantly until the sugar liquid is all soaked up, this can take 15 minutes or so. Once that's done, then add the cardamom powder and 2 tablespoons of ghee and roast for 3-4 minutes. Add in the nuts, give a final stir and done. Serve gajar halwa warm.
