Carrot halwa

With delightful Indian flavours and aromas, this carrot halwa is a treat for diabetics and non-diabetics alike. Healthy, heavenly, and requiring just a few simple ingredients, you can prepare this exceptional dessert in minutes.

Ingredients

• 2 carrots, peeled and grated
• Non-fat milk, 1 cup
• Crushed almonds, ¼ cup
• 2 green cardamom pods, crushed and ground
• Raisins, 1½ tbsp
• Unsalted light butter or ghee, 1 tbsp
• Stevia, 1 tbsp

Method

1. Heat the butter or ghee in a pan on medium heat, add the cardamoms, and fry until aromatic. Then add the carrots and sauté for 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the milk and half of the almonds and raisins. Stir constantly to avoid burning at the bottom, and cook for about 5-7 more minutes.
3. Add the stevia and keep stirring. Lower the heat to medium-low, and cook until the halwa thickens.
4. Once the halwa has thickened, remove from the heat, transfer to a serving bowl, and garnish with the remaining almonds and raisins.
