Chitra's Cuisine 2nd Anniversary
With great pride and lots of joy i'm here celebrating the Second Anniversary of Chitra's Cuisine with all of you. There were days when I used to post a recipe and wait anxiously to see if there are any viewership. Back then, I never imagined/anticipated this blog to survive 2 years. Thanks for your wonderful support and constant encouragement. On this day, I can certainly say that, I cannot dream a day without Chitra's Cuisine. You made me feel that I can cook. You made me feel I can do photography too. I'm truly privileged to have your viewership. I hope to live up to your faith in the days ahead.
At this time, I also like to thank my hubby for encouraging my passion for photography ( which resulted in a home studio now). And of course, allowed me to build a wardrobe of utensils too :)
Enjoy the recipe.
Serves 2
Ingredients:
Carrots - 3 long, peeled and grated(about 2 cups)
Sugar - 1 cup (adjust sugar according to your taste)
Low-fat Milk - 1 1/2 cups
Cardamom powder - 1/2 tbspn
Ghee - 3 tbspns
Slivered Almonds - 2 tbspns
Method:
In a microwave safe bowl add ghee and add grated carrots. Microwave on high for 3 minutes.
Now add milk and stir gently. Microwave on high for another 5-6 minutes, stirring for every two minutes.
Add cardamom powder and sugar. Stir again. When you add sugar, the mixture turns watery. Now microwave for another 19 minutes* on high or until the carrots turn soft and milk is completely absorbed.
Take another microwave safe bowl and add 1 tbspn of ghee and silvered almonds. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or until the color of the slivered almonds slightly change.
Now add this to the above halwa. Serve hot or chilled.
*Depends upon the Microwave you are using. I used 1.5Kw Microwave Oven.
