Wait to add the ghee until after you pressure cook the carrots as that helps give the halwa that desired dark orange/red color. 2. You don’t need to use a lot of milk to make this dessert but don’t cut back on the ghee.

Ingredients

• 1 pound carrots, grated/shredded (approx. 4 cups)*
• ½ cup whole milk (or full-fat canned coconut milk if dairy-free/vegan)
• ¼ cup water
• ½ cup sugar
• 4 tablespoons ghee (or coconut oil if dairy-free/vegan)
• ⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom

Instructions

1. Add the carrots, milk and water to the pot. Secure the lid, close the pressure valve and cook for 1 minute at high pressure.
2. Open the valve to quick release any remaining pressure.
3. Press sauté and add the sugar. Stir for 6-7 minutes, or until most of the liquid has reduced. Then, add the ghee and stir-fry the carrots for another 6-7 minutes, or until the carrots become dry and the ghee separates from the mixture. The carrots should look dark orange/reddish in color.
4. Add the cardamom, mix well, then garnish with chopped nuts.
