Gajar Halwa

Ingredients:
2 lbs of Baby Carrots
1/2 cup of Milk or Water
1 can of Sweetened Condensed milk
1/2 cup Milk powder
2 Tbsp of Butter or Clarified butter
1/4 Cashew nuts or sliced Almonds
1/4 Tsp of Cardamom powder

Directions:
Add the carrots, butter and milk to a pressure cooker. Mix well and pressure cook on medium heat for 2 whistles about 7-8 mins. Turn off flame and let the steam release on its own.
Once the pressure cooker is ready to be opened, turn on flame again and keep it on medium and mash the carrot with a potato masher. Bring the carrot milk mixture to get dry and continue to cook for 10-15 mins until the mixture thickens and becomes a bit grainy.
Add the condensed milk and cardamom powder and mix well. Let it cook for another 5-7 mins. Adjust the amount of condensed milk to suit your sweetness levels.
Add milk powder, this helps to give a mawa like texture to the halwa.
Next add the roasted cashew nuts or choice of your nuts. Mix well.
