    Notes

    * As i was too lazy to grate the carrots, i chopped mine really fine in the food processor and it came out really good.
    * If you don’t want to cook for so long and need a faster gajar halwa, reduce the amount of milk to about half a cup. But i highly recommend long slow cooking.
    * You can omit the condensed milk amd just add sugar.
    * Drench the spring roll completely in sugar syrup.
