Carrot and Bread Halwa

Thanks friends for all your wishes and the guess about the ingredients of the sweet. The sweet is "Carrot and Bread Halwa". Kudos to the people who found out that carrot is one of the ingredients:-) I added carrot just to make it bit different from the usual bread halwa. My hearty Tamil New Year wishes to you all...
