02/7​Healthy carrots make for the base ingredient

Carrots are no less than a superfood. Loaded with vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K and fibre, they have many health benefits. The vitamin A in carrots improves your vision. It also contains lutein and lycopene - the photoprotective nutrients responsible for maintaining night vision and good eyesight.

03/7​Milk provides you with calcium and protein

Milk is another integral part of the preparation. Adding milk adds to the nutrition content of the halwa. Again, if you like topping in nuts, you stand to gain some proteins and antioxidants from it.

04/7​Preparing it in ghee makes a healthy choice

Ghee has a lot of good fats which are required by your body to reduce aches and pain and nourish vital organs.

While ghee is super healthy, if you don't like the taste you can use unsalted butter instead.

05/7​It can boost immunity

The vitamin A in carrots boosts your immunity and thus helps keep infections at bay, which is all that we need right now.

06/7​It's a seasonal preparation

One must always have seasonal foods. For example, we apply sunscreen in winter to protect the skin UV rays, Carrots have beta carotene, which helps the skin by blocking the UV rays.

07/7​Homemade goodness

The food cooked in your kitchen with warmth and love is 1000 times better than any healthy food available bought from outside.
