Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons ghee or coconut oil or vegan butter
- 10 carrots peeled and grated (About 6 cups packed)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 cup almond meal
- 2 teaspoons cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoons raisins
- ½ teaspoon saffron
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds or pistachios for garnish
Instructions
- Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté(Hi) mode. Add ghee (or vegan butter) and grated carrots. Cook for 2-3 minutes with the glass lid on.
- Add almond milk and close the lid with the pressure value set to sealing. Set Instant Pot to Pressure Cook/Manual(Hi) for 5 minutes. Quick-release.
- Add sugar, almond meal, cardamom powder, raisins, and saffron. Mix well.
- Turn the Instant Pot to Sauté(Hi) and cook for 5-7 mins until most of the liquids are evaporated. Stir frequently, making sure that the halwa does not stick to the bottom of the pot. Note: The halwa will continue to thicken as it cools down.
- Garnish with sliced almonds or pistachios. Serve warm or chilled.
Notes
- NOTE:
- To make dairy-free carrot halwa, substitute ghee with any neutral oil, coconut oil, or vegan butter
- Use regular milk instead of almond milk
- Substitute almond meal with khoya(mawa), non-fat dairy milk powder, or ricotta cheese
- You can also use milkmaid or condensed milk instead of almond meal Since condensed milk is sweetened, make sure to reduce the sugar substantially
