Halva ye havij

This vibrant halva variety is prepared with a base of shredded carrots, rice flour, butter, sugar, and various flavorings and spices such as saffron, rose water, cinnamon, or cardamom. Carrot halva can be served on a large plate and shared as a communal meal, but since the base is incredibly pliable, it can be molded and shaped into various other forms and served as a single portion. It can be enjoyed well-chilled or lukewarm, and it is usually garnished with pistachios, walnuts, or ground cinnamon.
