Its
half term break again here and this time it’s a wet one. It has been raining
pretty much all day since last few days. Our outdoor plans are all shattered and we are
stuck at home. I am not complaining though as I am loving staying at home
watching tele and doing activities with my little boy J All the empty cereals boxes and tissue rolls have been put
into good use making cardboard robot, house etc.
Living in London has a great benefit when it
comes to eating out options. There are many Indian restaurants and sweet shops
here. It’s surprising that I never ate this from India and tasted it for the
first time from an Indian restaurant here!! I loved it to core and after that first time I ate it lot
of times from many restaurants and also from friends place. The whole process of making this at home is a
bit time consuming but I guess it’s totally worth it!

Mmm...its been a rainy half term break here too..You are lucky to have so many Indian eating joints there..we really don't have too many options here..
The carrot halwa looks delicious..one of my favorites
looks very nice...I wish we get red carrots in London...

apart from the grating, I love making carrot halwa... grating is normally handled by Rasha, hehe... just like Julie said, I pressure cook the carrots first and then go on to cook it, saves some time... so yummy ur pics...
