- "A characteristic sweet of southern India is carrot halvah, a rich, sweet reduction of carrots and spices which is almost fudgelike in consistency. This cake falls somewhere between this traditional treat and the popular American carrot cake. It has a dense texture and the unexpected flavor of cardamom, yet doesn't require the tedious cooking and stirring of a halvah.
- "Special Indian dishes are often decorated with silver foil - a microscopic thin sheet of edible, flavorless real silver, available in Indian groceries. We have cut edible foil into decorative shapes - a tedious business which must be done in a completely draftless room - but more manageable solid toppings are customary.
- "Serve this nontraditonal ending to your Indian meal with coffee which has been brewed with a few cardamom seeds."
- Rub a round cake pan which is 9 inches in diameter and 1-1/2 inches in height with the vegetable oil and then dust it very lightly with flour. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- Sift 1 c. flour with the baking soda and salt.
- Beat the Large eggs well in a large bowl. Add in the cardamom, sugar, and clarified butter. Keep beating till all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Add in the sifted flour mix to the ingredients in the large bowl and fold it in gently with a spatula. Add in the carrots, pistachios, almonds, and raisins. Fold them in gently as well.
- Turn the cake batter into the oiled and floured cake pan and bake for 35 to 45 min, or possibly till a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown red. Decorate top iwth edible silver foil.
