1. 1

   Grate khoya and keep aside. Combine carrots and milk in a large heavy based pan. Bring to a boil.

2. 2

   Lower the heat and cook the carrots, stirring constantly, until all the milk dries up. Pour ghee into the carrots.

3. 3

   Add khoya. Saute for a few minutes. Add sugar. Continue to cook and stir the carrot mixture till it dries.

4. 4

   Remove from heat when still moist. Stir in the saffron, cardamom powder and almonds, reserving a few for garnish along with silver foil.

5. 5

   Reheat carrot halwa just before serving with a little milk. If not serving immediately, refrigerate carrot halwa and re-heat and serve when desired.

6. 6

   Handy hint: If u dont have khoya, use 1 cup whole milk powder mixed with 1 tsp ghee and 1-2 tbsp water to get a dough like consistency. This makes 100gms of khoya.
