- Once hot add grated carrot and saute for 2-3 minutes or till the carrot starts to soften.
- Now add milk and let it come to a boil.
- Simmer on low-medium heat till all the milk evaporates. Do stir in between so milk does not stick to the bottom and sides of the pan.
- Now add khoya, mix and let it melt completely.
- Then add sugar, cardamom powder and continue cooking till all the liquid dries out and becomes thick halwa consistency again. This time you need to stir it more frequently.
