Hello everyone, I am back from a long unintended break. Yes, it was a long break, but I am very happy to say that I am blessed with baby girl.Pregnancy kept me away from cooking.Those morning sickness which will be there whole day, long journey to work , everything kept me tired those months.At the end blessed with beautiful angel. We have named her as "Iha" :).
Currently I am enjoying at mum place with my lil girl who turned 3 months. My mum always complained that I did not cook anything for her ;)..So I thought today to cook some easy dessert for everyone.So here comes the carrot halwa. All are happy now ;).




Carrot Halwa is popular Indian dessert made from mainly carrot and milk. This recipe is a traditional one where we use only milk along with carrots. To fasten up we can add condensed milk too. But I have not added any of those. I like the taste of  traditional way :). There is no rocket science in cooking this. very simple n easy.

Carrot halwa is loved by everyone. It is most loved dessert during Indian weddings, festivals and all special occassion. You can top up with ice cream and eat it.I love the carrot halwa with plain vanilla ice cream. Trust me it tastes heaven .
Do try this simple n easy dessert now and thank me later ;)..
