Gajjar Halwa is one of my Families Favorite dish. So my Mom makes it oftenly.
Here is another great recipe from my mom. It's a dessert that warms up your heart, whether you eat it hot or cold. I personally love to eat it as soon as you turn off the burner.
I chose the Zodiac Sign : CAPRICORN which corresponded to carrots. I selected this as it is my husbands zodiac sign.
Capricorn men are cautious to begin with. But, once you show that you are sincere. They are very wonderful trust worthy people. The work with you not only toward their goal but your goal as well. They communicate well. The look at long term..not short. And can be very good partners.
