All Natural Carrot Halwa

Ingredients (for 1 person):

1. Grated Carrot – 1 cup (150 grams)
2. Dates – 6 nos.
3. Coconut kernel (tender) – 1/2 coconut
4. Almonds – 4 nos. 
5. Cardamom powder – 1 pinch

Method:

1. Soak Almonds on the previous day of Halwa preparation.  Wash it and change the water for every eight hours and soak with fresh water.  It will sprout on the next day. Chop this vertically.
2. Remove the seeds of Dates and soak in water 8 hours before. Take the fruits from water and mash it with a spoon.
3. Grate the Carrot and keep it aside.
4. Remove the tender kernel from the Coconut and grind it using a mixer grinder. Make a fine paste.
5. Transfer all these ingredients to a bowl. Add Cardamom powder and mix thoroughly. Raw Carrot Halwa is ready to taste.

Note:

• I have watched this youtube video and thought of making it complete raw version. The taste of raw version turned out good. Hence I am sharing it to all.
• When you buy Coconut in shop, ask for the tender type. Say that you are going to eat it raw. If you are using the kernel of the matured Coconut, the texture of the Coconut paste will not be so good.
• You may increase or decrease the quantity of the Coconut kernel, Dates and Almonds as per your taste.
• As shown in the above mentioned video, I have also made complete cooked version of Carrot Halwa. I shall share the recipe in another post.
