[ENG] Indian Carrot Halwa / حلوى الجزر والهيل – CookingWithAlia – Episode 540

Do you like carrots? are you looking for new dessert recipes? Then let’s continue the Indian Series with a traditional Indian dessert called “Gajar Halwa”, which means “Carrot Sweet”, that SLURP STUDIO showed me how to make it in Bangalore, India. This is a delicious mix of cooking carrots flavored with cardamom and mixed with cashews and raisins! Try it and let me know what you think!
RECIPE: https://goo.gl/sd9hsB

INGREDIENTS:
300 grams of carrot
75 grams of butter
25 grams cashew nuts
20 grams of raisins
3 cardamom pods (or 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom)
1 teaspoon caster sugar (to be adjusted according to your taste)
500 ml milk
50 ml sweetened condensed milk

DIRECTIONS:
1- Peel and grate the carrots.
2- Place a frying pan over medium heat and melt the butter. Cook for few minutes and the butter is golden brown.
3- Put the cashews and raisins into the melted butter. Fry for a 30 seconds until the cashew nuts become golden.
4- Add the grated carrots.
5- Cook the carrots, cashews and raisins for about 8 minutes until the carrots are soft. Stir constantly to prevent carrots from burning.
6- Pour the milk into the frying pan and stir until it is completely absorbed.
7- Crush the cardamom pods and add them to the carrots (or, alternatively, the ground cardamom). Cook for a few minutes until the milk is reduced.
8- Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until it is completely incorporated.
9- Taste, and add the sugar if necessary. Stir to melt.
10- Cook for few minutes until the preparation is reduced.
Serve warm or cold, decorated with a few cashews or better, a ball of vanilla ice cream!

Potato and Hot Dog Frittata – A Must Try!

Potatoes, eggs & hot dogs , an Italian childhood classic that fed generations and still hits every time. Sure, it’s not fancy… but ask anyone who grew up on this and they’ll pick it over filet mignon any day. Bonus points if you eat it in a sandwich by the beach like a true Italian (I swear it tastes even better at the beach) it’s such a humble thing but I think many many cultures relate to how special dishes like these really are for the soul! Approx recipe and instructions below! 3 medium size russets, peeled and thinly sliced 4 to 6 hot dogs (all beef for me) slices up 6 eggs Plenty of grated parm Plenty of S&P Olive oil I like cooking the potatoes in some olive oil over medium heat until they are about half way cooked (season them with a pinch of salt and pepper) then once there, add the hot dogs and continue cooking until the potatoes are fully cooked, add in the whisked egg and cheese mixture and cook until golden and set on the bottom, I use a fish spatula to kind of “slice it” into 1/4 pieces so it’s easier to flip but honestly this DOES NOT have to be perfect, it’s rustic home food. Cook until fully set then sprinkle more parm and enjoy every single bite!
