Gajar halwa

This is one of my favourites that I picked up from Mom. Its not made with the regular orange color carrots. These are different type of carrots that come during Jan season. They are dark and a bit pinkish in color and taste is also slightly different from regular carrots. During the season, you can see carts filled with heaps of these carrots almost everywhere. I love that sight!
What makes this dish distinct and rich is the addition of roasted poppy seeds in the end.

Grated gajar, Ghee, Milk, Almonds, Cardamom powder, Sugar and Poppy seeds.

Saute the grated carrot in a little ghee till it softens. Add milk, sugar, slivered almonds and cook for some more time. Add some cardamom powder in the end. Once done, roast some poppy seeds in a separate pan and add to the halwa.

Next time I wanna try this out using Jaggery.
