This confection is sometimes called carrot halwa. You can substitute freshly grated coconut for the carrots and garnish each piece with a candied cherry, raisin, or slice of almond.

Ingredients

  • 1¼ cups sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ghee
  • 5 large carrots

Method

  1. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish and set aside.
  2. Combine the sugar and ½ cup of water in a small saucepan and simmer until the mixture reaches the consistency of syrup, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Heat the ghee in a deep saucepan and add the carrots. Stir well
