Few weeks back made carrot halwa using red carrots in season, this time I bought one kg of red carrots again, but dint feel like making the heavy creamy sweet carrot halwa again, and hence thought of experimenting with it, something healthy and which can be stored for a couple of days.
This jam is very simple to make, delicious and of course healthy, also has shelf life for few days. This is how I made it.
Ingredients
Red carrots - 1 kg
Jaggery syrup - 1 cup (take one cup jaggery syrup when you melt 500 gms jaggery with 1 cup of water)
Cardamom powder - a pinch
Method
Wash, peel and finely chop the carrots in a food processor or in the mixie jar ( make sure you dont make a juice of it :) ).
Keep a big thick bottomed vessel on the stove, put the chopped carrots and sprinkle some water and cook the carrots, once half cooked pour in the jaggery syrup and keep stirring until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan. Sprinkle some cardamom powder and mix well.
Remove from heat and transfer into sterilized glass jars. Enjoy with dosas, rotis or enjoy it as it is :)
