Sweet Carrot Halva (Ayurvedic)

(recipe, Carrie Stewart)

Ingredients

1. 3 large carrots
2. water
3. ghee
4. jaggery
5. 4 cardamom pods ground
6. ¼ tsp. cinnamon
7. 2 Tbsp. ground almonds or dessicated coconut
8. ¼ cup of soya or rice milk.

Steps

1. Finely grate the carrots (or other vegetables- this is important as thick grating won’t look so appetising!) and add to saucepan. Add all other ingredients (except soya/ rice milk). Simmer with lid on a low heat for 20 minutes until carrots are soft. Add soya/ rice milk to loosen the mixture. As an alternative, halva can be made with carrots (or sweet potato or courgette).
