During winter time in the North of India, there will be red carrots available in the vegetable market, and in all sweet shops, one will see warm carrot halwa in big flat vessels. We used to enjoy the sweet in Lucknow. The red carrots are available in Belgaum during December\/January. They are awesome for making halwa, though it can be prepared with orange colour carrots too. I always follow the typical north Indian recipe, which I learned from my husband\u2019s mamiji three decades back.\u00a0 Yesterday my husband spotted the red carrots; he promptly brought them home along with mawa (khoya or khawa). And I prepared his favourite dish, which took 50 minutes.<\/p>\n
