CARROT HALWA using Pressure Cooker

This method comes under cook and serve type. I prepared this recipe, without khoa, condensed milk, milk powder. The grated carrot gets caramelised in the cooking process.
CARROT HALWA 


INGREDIENTS:- ( use same cup for measuring)
Carrot grated -  4 cups
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Milk - 1& 1/2 cup
Ghee - 5 tsp
Cardomom powder - 1/2 tsp
Cashews, Almonds, Raisins - 5 nos. each




METHOD:-
Boil Milk in a pan, till it reduces to half of its quantity. Scrap the sides while boiling. It took nearly half an hour, that is 3/4th cup of milk  is ready to prepare the halwa.
Now, in a pressure cooker (i used 3L pressure cooker), add 4 tsp ghee and melt it.
Roast the cashews, almonds and raisins, remove it and restore it in a bowl.  Add the grated carrot, milk, sugar, cardomom powder and 1 tsp of ghee to the Cooker.
Cover the cooker with lid. Place it on the burner and cook for 5 minutes in High flame, 5 minutes in Medium Flame and 10 minutes in sim flame, irrespective of whitsles. The idea of adding milk is to avoid burnt and to give the taste of khoa.
(Note:-For 4 cups of  grated carrot, 3/4th cup of milk and 3/4th cup of sugar)
Let it release the pressure on its own.
Now, place the cooker on the burner in medium flame and cook till there is no water content.
Caramalised Carrot Halwa is ready to be served. Garnish with fried dry fruits and nuts.
