Feroza Banu i had doubt about CarrotHalwa... how its usually made is using milk, and sugar... but while cooking it there is a lot of moisture... milk, sugar leaves water and also carrot has a high moisture content... all this moisture needs to dry up.... but it takes so long that the halwa turns a little dark than its natural colour.....which is then not very appealing when cooked finally than the lovely bright colour of the usual halwa... can u help
I don't understand why the halwa would turn a little darker than normal. i do understand that there is alot of moisture because of milk, sugar and carrots itself but if u just let it cook and keep stiring it after every 3 to 4 minutes it should be ok. it does take a long time. just make sure to not let the bottom of the pot stick and burn the carrot.
one tip to remember is that: u don't have to use ALOT of milk... u can use little milk enough for the carrots to be done and mostly use cream in it for the flavor. the only reason people add milk alot is for its fat content.. u can reduce milk quantity and use cream. u can even add oil in it.

what type of carrots are u using?
walaikumassalam awo manana Feroza Banu....its the normal juicy carrot i use... and also can khoa/mawa be used instead of milk or can condensed milk be used?
some suggest addition of colour but i dont want to use artificial colour in food.....
looking forward for more tips from u.. u and i share a common hobby....
^yes you can use khowa.. and condensed milk too...
hmmm if u are using the regular carrot it shouldn't turn dark... it did turn light in my case... and my mom suggesting adding food coloring and i refused... i don't like adding artificial stuff too...
this is sooooo exciting... i am so glad i have someone with the same hobby as me...
