The Carrot Halwa is ready to serve.
Note:
This Halwa is a little sweeter as my family prefers it that way. Those who want to reduce the sweet can use 100 gm sugar instead of 300 gm which I used.
Note:2
today I made the koya with milk powder and did not add sugar to it and used only 300 gm sugar for 700 gm carrots as I used Pakistani red carrots (for making the Halwa) which was sweeter than the regular orange ones.You can adjust the sugar as per your liking
