Gajar Ki Halwa with Dates

1.In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the ghee over medium heat.

2.Add the grated carrots to the pan and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they soften slightly.

3.Pour in the full-fat milk and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.

4.Cook the carrots in the milk, stirring occasionally, until the milk reduces and thickens, about 30-40 minutes.

5.Once the milk has thickened, add the chopped dates and mix well, allowing them to melt into the halwa.

6.Stir in the crumbled khoya and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

7.Add the cardamom powder, chopped nuts, and raisins, mixing everything together thoroughly.

8.Cook for an additional 5 minutes, then remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
