Description - Step 1

Cook Halwa Filling

Warm the ghee in a heavy pan and add the grated carrots. Sauté them until they lose some moisture and turn slightly glossy. Pour in the milk and let the mixture simmer, stirring often so it doesn’t settle at the base. Once the milk has reduced completely, mix in the sugar and cook until thick. Add cardamom, almonds, and pistachios. Let this mixture cool fully.
