It is amazing how halva is spread from Greece to India! I love your carrot halva!
Yes Katerina, it is very interesting to know how food travels around the world…and how its been adapted from one culture to the other.
Your Carrot Halwa looks utterly delicious and I am most intrigued by this recipe – it has such wonderful ingredients and such a fabulous color – I would love to have a taste of this as carrots with their natural sweetnees are some of my very favorite vegetables!

Thanks Andrea! absolutely, juicy carrots with solidified milk and cashew brings a rich taste and sugar added to the halwa gives it a glossy finish and sweetness to the dish..Its one of the most common and wanted dessert in many homes and ceremonies!!
What an interesting thing to do with carrots—yum! I can totally relate about the draft thing. Sometimes, there are posts that sit there for so long, I feel bad for neglecting them =)
