2. Saute it in medium flame till the carrots changes color and gets cooked and raw smell leaves.


3. This is the stage, then take 1 cup of boiled milk. Add this milk to the carrot and continue to cook carrots in milk.


4. When carrots start abosorbing milk, add sugar. Continue to cook until the halwa gets thick, the ghee gets seperated and will come out on the sides of the pan.
