Carrot Halwa

[skthewimp]

Last night my mother was making carrot halwa. She called me and asked me to taste it and check if the sugar is right. After I'd done that and given my approval she said "now all that is left is to put in some cardamom and raisins and cashews

Agree on cardamom being a taste spoiler.
Thats the only sore point I have about Thirupathi laddus.

tirupati laddus put it whole
my mother just puts the seeds, but it still has enough impact on the taste

hmmm..but I doubt the Tirupati management will change the recipe considering that the current devotees (million's of them) have no issues with it...
Too bad you did not like it..I empathize with you :(
In my opinion a little bit of spice here and there spices up your life too..SO..try the spicy halwa next time and spare your mom the trouble.

The seeds contain the bulk of the flavour.

And I too am not a big fan of cardamom. I think it needs to be used very carefully.
