My Favourite "Gajar ka Halwa"

One of my Team Lead who used to report to me gives me a call today and asked me to share the recipe of Gajar ka Halwa, which I had prepared during one of the pot luck sessions for the team..Wow it feels nice that some one still remembers & acknowledges .I guess this was just the motivation I needed to post this recipe without any further delay, so here it is for all my friends....

Cooking Time: 30-40 mins

4-5 cups milk(depends on the quantity..put milk cup by cup and check)
3/4th tin condensed milk(Milkmaid) (depends on the quantity)
750 to 1 kg gms grated carrot
1 to 2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp ghee
50 gms chopped mixed nuts (badam,pista,kaju)

Method
1.Peel and grate carrots (Red carrots only).
2.Add the grated carrots to the milk in a deep pan or kadai and bring to boil.
3.Cook on a slow flame, while stirring occasionally, till milk dries up.
4.Add the condensed milk(Milkmaid) and sugar, mix well and cook on a slow flame till the mixture becomes dry, stirring occasionally.
