Carrot Burfi - A Indian Dessert

Wishing all the wonderful ladies a Happy Women's Day :). To celebrate this day I present Carrot Burfi. 
Carrot halwa is one of the classic indian dessert  as we all know. When this halwas is simmered for a few extra minutes and placed on a greased plate it turns to be Carrot Burfi. My Ammsta makes Carrot Khadi a little harder to this and i was supposed to do it but stopped here as both my kids woke up ;). 

Here is the recipe for CARROT BURFI

Ingredients:
