Carrot Halwa

 

"Life is short and unpredictable. Eat the dessert first!" ~ Helen Keller

Helen Keller probably knew about Corona! All said and done, quality of life is more important, so let's try to eat healthy and stay fit. We all know that eating healthy, staying physically active and building our immunity is the key to many ailments. Indulge in desserts only occasionally. 

This is one of the few desserts I approve of for obvious reasons - carrots. This is a quick version of carrot halwa made using milk powder. You can alternatively use grated khoya. Kids who are fussy eaters will also love this recipe.
