Steps to make Pumpkin and Carrot Halwa:

- Use a heavy bottomed pressure pan to prepare the halwa. Heat 2 tbsp ghee in pressure pan. Add the grated pumpkin and carrot. Saute on medium flame for 5 minutes. (A pressure pan is nothing but a wider, shorter, pressure cooker, used to cook curries / dals / vegetables very quickly)
- Add the milk, give it a stir. Cover the pressure pan with its lid, along with the whistle. Cook for 3 whistles and on sim for 5 minutes. Switch off the flame and allow the pressure pan to cool.
- Open when cool. Add the grated khoya and sugar, along with saffron strands dissolved in 1 tsp milk. On a low flame, allow to simmer until most of the milk has solidified and halva is dry. At this stage add the powdered green cardamom seeds, stir well to mix. Remove this into a bowl.
- In a small saucepan, heat 1 tbsp ghee. Fry the cashewnuts until golden brown, drain and keep aside. Fry the raisins until puffed up. Transfer both the cashews and raisins over the Halwa.
- Serve chilled or warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or as a filling in tartlets.
