ABC Halwa(Apple-Bannana-Carrot Halwa) for one pearl :)

As we were playing...my son put my finger into his mouth and a big haaa dropped from my mouth...I was surprised ....b'coz usually when he bit me it never had hurt before..So I put my finger back into his mouth to see what was it???Yes there came a new door in his mouth...The front bottom pearl...:)...Seeing that I could just think one thing only..."Yes so I am going to get many more bites....."

My Prince...

I just made a simple sweet on this occasion....Simple to prepare and tastes heavenly...I liked it more than carrot halwa:)

Carrots -1 cup(Grated)
Apples - 1 cup(Peeled and Grated)
Banana -1cup(Smashed)
Milk - 1 cup
Sugar - 1 and 1/2 cups(adjust according to your sugar level)
Almonds -few(chopped)
Cashew nuts -few(chopped)
Ghee - 3 tbsp
Cardamom Powder -1 tsp

1. Cook grated carrots in milk until soft.Add  apples and  banana and cook.
2. Then add sugar and cook till it becomes dry(halwa consistency).Keep on stirring it to avoid burning or sticking at the bottom.



3. Then add cardamom powder and mix well.
4. Heat ghee and add to the mixture and mix well till the Ghee oozes out and you can see it at the sides..
5. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped nuts.



Tips:
1. Use a non stick pan.
2. Add sugar after the fruits become soft,else fruits wont get cooked.
3. Goes well with ice creams too...
4. Nuts are not compulsory.
5. Instead of grating apple you can also cut them to small pieces and pulse them with milk in mixer.Pulse for few seconds only,so that you don't make a juice of it.If doing this use the milk from that 1 cup only.
