Happy Eid! To celebrate our big Eid here’s a little something sweet to make for Eid lunch or dinner. Carrot halwa is one of my favourites, it’s best served warm and perfect for winter. It’s one of the easiest desserts to make and you don’t need much ingredients.
You can also serve the halwa with a scoop of vanilla ice cream too. It’s delicious and rich with hints of cardamom. Have a lovely Eid and stay safe.
