Low fat simple gajar ka halwa

Celebration of the winter chill is incomplete without Gajar ka halwa. In anticipation of sudden disappearance of red carrots from Bangalore vegetable markets, I made this pudding almost a fortnight ago, however as luck would have it ,I found time now only to post it.

Its a very simple recipe with emphasis on low fat and sugar,unlike the conventional method which requires loads of ghee, sugar, milk and hours of slaving on the stove. The final outcome is yummy and can be had without guilt any time:)

Ingredients

Carrots( peeled, washed and grated)- 1kg
Ghee- 3 tsp
Sugar-1/2 cup
Milk powder-1/2 cup

Remove lid, add sugar, milk powder and cardamom. Combine nicely and cover.
Stir once more after five minutes and cook let it cook for another five minutes.
