Yesterday was my daughter's birthday, for the special day we had a feast and prepared her favourite carrot halwa with a twist. Trust me this carrot walnut halwa tastes seriously fantastic and the addition of walnuts makes this halwa more interesting and healthy as well. Actually i planned to make some carrot halwa for dessert and prepared everything for it, while going through my pantry for cashewnuts i noticed that almost a quarter cup of walnuts were sitting since few months in a small bottle.Instead of adding them in bakes i tried adding them by soaking in hot water, grinding them as fine paste and used it while making halwa.
A simple carrot halwa with walnut paste turned out extremely rich,nutty and delicious, if you are planning to make some carrot halwa next time, do add few walnuts as paste to them and am sure you will see the difference.Sending to Viji's SYS-WS - Apple & Carrot.
