    Carrot Seviyan Halwa is a delicious creamy milk sweet made with vermicelli and carrot. The texture is more like a halwa than a payasam and is so addictive.

    This sweet is a wonderful way to celebrate Mother's Day, which falls on May 14th. Amma is so fond of sweets and this sweet was in fact prepared by her, while I was making the Punjabi Thali.

    Being busy making all the dishes, I completely forgot to dish out a sweet. I asked Amma to make something she loves and from Punjabi cuisine. She came up with this version. The halwa was so sinful, that most of it were completed by me.

    Do make this and enjoy the day with your Mom!

    This sweet hardly takes time to get done and you can make this when you have surprise guests at home.

    Though I am not very fond of sweets, everything that Amma makes is my favorite and I enjoyed this so much. This is one of the frequently made sweet now. Carrot Seviyan Halwa

    1 cup Vermicelli Semiya
    1 cup Carrot grated
    1 cup Sugar
    1 cup Water
    1.5 cup Milk
    1 Cardamom
    Cashews
    Raisins
    3 tbsp Ghee

    Heat a nonstick pan with 2 tbsp ghee and roast the nuts. When the nuts are roasted, remove them aside.
    In the same pan, roast the semiya and roast till slightly brown and crisp. Remove to a plate
    Next fry the grated carrot. Then add 1 cup of water. Boil for 2 minutes in low flame.
    Now add milk. Let it come to a boil, when it boils add the roasted Semiya.
    When the milk gets thickens, add sugar.  Simmer for 5 mins
    Finally, add 1 tbsp ghee and roasted nuts. The consistency should be a thick dessert.

      That looks like a fabulous combination of semiya and carrot. I usually end up making payasam or upma with semiya. This carrot version of the sweet is surely to win my daughter's heart!
