  1. Warm 4 teaspoons ghee in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Fry almonds until they start to turn golden. Stir in sultanas, fry for about 10 seconds. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl.

  2. To the same saucepan, add carrot, almond meal and milk, cook on medium low heat stirring frequently. When milk is completely absorbed, add 4 teaspoons ghee, sugar, cloves and cardamom. Cook until sugar is mixed well with carrot and halva becomes a sticky mass. Remove from heat. 

  3. Stir in almonds and sultanas just before serving.

Serve warm.

 

Tips: 

  • Step 2 can be done in a rice cooker.

  • Halva can be stored in the fridge for 3-5 days.

Carrots are rich in pro-vitamin A, which supports vision health and provides antioxidant protection. Almonds are a very good source of vitamin E and mono-unsaturated fats, which have been associated with reduced risk of heart disease.
