Salut

Thanks for these. Sound yummy.

Do you have a recipe for carrot halvah? Not too sweet or
buttery? I'd like to set it in a pan and cut into squares.

Tell me more about this cookbook.

Simply Indian: Carrot Pudding

Ingredients:

........................................................8-
10 medium sized Raisins..................................-
......................................3 tbsps.......................................................12-
15 Unsalted Butter.......................................-
................1/3 cup Whole Milk.......................-
.........................................1
1/2 cups Green cardamom
powder.....................................1 tsp
Sweetened condensed
milk................................1 can

Method of preparation:

. Wash, peel and grate carrots.
. Melt butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Let
the butter heat up for 2 minutes after it has melted.
You may want to scrape the foam on the top of the butter
using a spoon. This is a process to clarify butter and
turn it to ghee. It has a different aroma than butter
and is extensively used in Indian cooking.

. Add carrots to the butter and saute for about 8-10
minutes.
. Add cardamom powder and milk. Cook uncovered until milk
evaporates and the carrots are cooked. This may take
about 30-45 minutes over medium-high heat.

. Add sweetened condensed milk, raisins and cashews and
cook for another 5 minutes.
. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Hello Zee,

I am glad that you liked the recipes. They are from my book,
meaning, I have worked on them and wrote and re-wrote them
to perfect them 🙂

I am on my way to get my website done, and it should be up
and running by the end of this month. It will be mostly
Indian recipes for American Homes since we (Indians) all
crave for Indian food here. Everything will be simple and
fast to cook and many would be low-carb recipes.

Will keep you posted on that.

Regards,

Ronnie
