INGREDIENTS

125 g Butter; (4oz)
1 tb Rose-water
Double cream; to serve
125 ml Double cream; (4 fl oz)
Seeds from 4 cardamom pods
3 tb Slivered almonds
; minutes
750 g Carrots; grated (1 1/2lb)
A few saffron strands;
50 g Sugar; (2oz)
4 tb Raisins

INSTRUCTIONS

Put 2 tablespoons of the cream in a small bowl and gently stir in the saffron, then gradually mix in the rest of the cream. The cream will take on the colour of the saffron (golden yellow). Do not beat the mixture. Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over a low heat, add the grated carrots, and stir to coat well. Stir in the sugar, raisins and cardamom seeds. Blend in the saffron and cream mixture, and the almonds. Sprinkle in the rose-water, and cook gently over a low heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture will become a fairly dry, golden brown mass. Serve the halva as a dessert, with double cream poured over the top, if desired.
