HALVA -CARROT (Type I)

2 medium size carrots (shredded)        1/4 c. melted butter or ghee
1 c. milk                               1/2 tsp. powdered cardamom
1 1/4 c. sugar                          2 Tbsp. chopped nuts (almond
or pistachio)

In a saucepan add the shredded carrots and milk and cook on low heat. Stir about every 5 minutes until it thickens. Add sugar to the cooked carrots and stir well. After 5 minutes or so, add the butter or ghee, 1 or 2 teaspoonfuls at a time. Add the rest of the ghee every few minutes. Keep stirring until it gets thick. Add cardamom powder and chopped nuts and mix well. Before taking it out of the heat, make sure it does not stick to the sides of the pan. Then pour it in a greased plate and flatten it to 1/2 inch thickness and cut into 2 inch square pieces.
