Carrot Halwa

Carrot halwa is a traditional Indian dessert that uses the carrot in a unique way. This dish is basically composed of grated cooked carrots with some additional ingredients. A major dairy component also adds to the dish.Personally i love this halwa very much because it contain the rich orange color of carrots comes from beta carotene  which also happens to be very good for optical health. The yellow to orange pigment in beta carotene is converted by the body into vitamin A, making carrots an excellent source of this useful vitamin.Childrens too love this yummy halwa...
