Gajar Halwa

Dessert - Tofu - -

INGREDIENTS

3 carrots, peeled and finely grated
1 1/4 cups soy milk
1 T vegan margarine
1/2 cup sugar or less
4 to 6 cardamom seeds, peeled and crushed
A few raisins
A few (unsalted) cashew nuts or almonds, cut into small pieces
A few strands of saffron (optional)

METHOD

Heat the margarine in a saucepan, saute the carrots in it for about 5 - 6 minutes and set aside. Bring the soy milk to boil in a heavy bottomed saucepan on medium flame and add the spices to it. Fold in the sugar and carrots, and cook on medium flame, stirring occasionally. When the mixture is fairly dry, add the raisins and cashewnuts

NOTES

The final consistency of the preparation should be fairly solid (but soft). Serve either hot or cold as a side dish or dessert.
