Wishing all my readers a very happy Diwali-May "the festival of lights" light up your life and bring much needed joy and positive energy to the whole world!
There are so many different sweets that are traditionally made for Diwali. One of the more commonplace ingredients is carrots-this is made into halwa and and burfi and kheer and whatnot....My recipe here is one my mom gave me a few years ago and which is always slurped up and finished in no time whenever I make it...Here's the recipe, which can be made in no time!
Ingredients:
Linking this special dish to the following wonderful Diwali events at some lovely yummy blogs:- Carrots-2 cups, grated
- Dates-8 nos., seedless

- Sugar-1/2 cup
