Ingredients
- 5 cups grated carrots packed, 10-12 medium carrots
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup almond flour or Milk powder
- 1 teaspoon Cardamom powder (Elaichi)
- 3 tablespoon ghee
- 2 tablespoon sliced almonds or mixed nuts, to garnish
Instructions
- Add the grated carrots and milk to the instant pot. Stir them.
- Start the instant pot in Saute(Low) mode (Press Saute, then Adjust). Cover with a glass lid. The display will show HOT in 5-8 mins. Stir in about 20 minutes.
- The Saute mode defaults to 30 minutes. Instant Pot will shut off itself after 30 mins. The carrots will be well cooked and there would not be any liquid by this time.
- Add cardamom, sugar and almond flour. Mix well with the carrots.
- Turn on Saute (Normal) mode and let the carrots cook while stirring frequently for 2-3 minutes.
- Add ghee and mix with the carrot halwa. Turn off instant pot.
- Garnish with sliced almonds or pistachios. Serve warm!

Notes
- I added almond flour to make the halwa healthier. However, you can add milk powder or khoa/mawa.
- Garnish with your choice of chopped nuts and raisins.
- Carrot Halwa can be refrigerated for up to a week. It also freezes well.
- Vegan Variation: Replace milk with almond milk, replace ghee with unsalted vegan butter, and use almond flour to make the halwa.
