GAJAR HALWA (CARROT AND CARDAMOM PUDDING)
The recipe for this Indian dessert comes from the North Carolina chef Cheetie Kumar, and it instantly transports her to her mother's kitchen around Diwali, the air rich with the aroma of fragrant carrots, caramelized milk and cardamom. The carrots are cooked down to be incredibly tender, but they still maintain some texture; the milk becomes jammy. If eaten warm, it's like a really decadent warm cereal or oatmeal; if served cold, it's like rice pudding, cool and sweet. The crunch of the toasted nuts make it the perfect meal-ender or tea time snack. If your carrots are bland, increase the sugar accordingly; the sweetness of the carrots makes a huge difference in the finished pudding. Some people prefer a looser halwa, but Ms. Kumar loves the caramelized notes that emerge when the pudding is cooked a little longer.

Steps:
- In a wide, heavy-bottomed skillet (don't use nonstick) over medium heat, melt ghee, then add carrots. Stir until carrots are well coated with ghee. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until carrots are somewhat dry and caramelized, about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring often so they don't scorch.
- Once the carrots are nice and dried out, stir in the milk and cardamom and simmer, stirring every few minutes, until the milk has reduced and is almost fully absorbed, about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the sugar, mix well to combine, and cook 5 to 8 more minutes until the mixture is almost dry and jammy. Serve warm or cold with toasted nuts sprinkled over the top.

Steps:
- Coat four 3-inch-by-2 1/2-inch ramekins with nonstick cooking spray. Coat with bread crumbs, and tap out excess. Set aside. Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place the carrots, onion, shallots, thyme, rosemary, and jalapeno pepper in a baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat. Place in the oven to roast, turning over halfway through the cooking, until golden brown and tender, about 25 minutes.
- Reduce oven to 375 degrees. Transfer roasted carrots, onion, shallots, and jalapeno pepper to the bowl of a food processor. Process, scraping down the sides as needed, until a thick puree is formed. Transfer puree to a medium bowl. Add the salt, black pepper, pecorino cheese, picked thyme, and chopped rosemary, and stir to combine; set aside.
- Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the eggs on high speed until thick, pale, and frothy, and at least tripled in volume, about 5 minutes. Stir 1/4 of the beaten egg into the carrot puree. Fold remaining beaten egg into this mixture. Divide carrot mixture among the prepared ramekins, and place in the oven until puffed and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven, and serve.
