Healthy Hints

Can you believe it? Halwa for less than 100 calories? Regular halwa is usually made with ghee or butter which makes the fat and calories shoot up, but choose this recipe and you'll get taste that doesn't show on your waist! Carrots provide valuable beta carotene which helps you to see in dim light.

Cooking Guide

1. Place the carrots in a large non-stick saucepan. Add the milk and cook, partly covered over medium heat for about an hour or until the milk has evaporated.

2. Stir in the sugar and cook for another ten minutes, stirring it constantly to avoid it sticking to the pan.

3. Add the oil and mix well. Cool for a further three minutes.

4. Add in the saffron and the cardamom and mix well.

5. Place in a shallow serving dish and sprinkle with almonds and pistachios.

4. Best served warm.
