Tips for Arabian Sweet Carrot Halwa

The halwa is ready when the carrots are tender and the mixture looks thick, with little loose milk in the pan.
Stir more frequently near the end; the sweetened mixture can catch on the bottom as it thickens.
Use a small, heavy-bottomed pan for more even cooking and easier stirring.
