Carrot delight / Carrot magic /Grandma's Carrot symphony
/Grandma's Carrot Treat
In Delhi's winter chill
My grandma often skillfully brewed
A carrot delight, a halwa treat
Grating carrots tirelessly
Many carrots in the mix
Then, for almost 2-3 hours
Simmering transformed them into halwa
On the stove's gentle flame
And then
It was ready to be savored
Warm, tempting carrot halwa
A certain portion
Each morning graced our breakfast table
Yet, never enough
Grandma would often stash some away
In a secret container
And in the noon, when grandma napped
I would sneakily retrieve
That halwa pot
Cleaning it meticulously
50-100 grams of halwa
So grandma stayed unaware
But till this day, I haven't figured out
Why grandma would softly smile?
