Since the weather is getting colder its perfect time to enjoy warm carrot halwa on chilly evening with family. Sharing my recipe which I learned from my MIL. Believe me it’s not that hard as it looks and with this method the cooking time is much less. I learned the regular recipe (where you boil carrots with milk ) from my dad. But after I learned this recipe from my mother in law, I never went back to the other recipe. The reason being the cooking time is much less. You can start making sheera in carrot water while cooking carrots (Bhonafication, that’s what I call it).
Tips
Always cook halva at medium to low heat.
After adding sheera , don’t overcook the carrots. This will make them chewy.
