Usha chiti's carrot halwa

Gajar ka Halwa is an Indian dessert of candied carrots spiced with cardamom, and doused with cashews fried in brown butter. It is very rich, and a small amount garnished with vanilla ice cream will go a long way. This recipe is named after my "Chithi" which means Aunt in Tamil. She has been making this dish for close to 30 years for special family events. The secret lies in the length of time the carrots are stewed and candied. The extra labor makes for an exceptional final product: toothsome, buttery, and sweet. Good things come to those who wait.
