Wash, peel and coarsely
grate the the carrots. Combine the carrots and milk in a pan, bring to
boil, reduce heat to medium low and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring
continuously. Cook until the mixture is nearly dry.
Add the white sugar,
brown sugar and half the cardamom. Mix well together and continue
stirring. Cook for 10-12 minutes. Remove pan from heat and set aside.
Heat butter in a pan
(large enough to contain the carrot mixture) over medium low heat, fry
the slivered almonds until golden. Stir in the carrot mixture together
with the raisins, walnuts and the rest of the spices, with the
exception of the ground cardamom. Cook until the mixture begins to
separate from the sides. Serve hot, garnished with the remaining
ground cardamom. This is a traditional Indian sweet served during
festivals.
