Tarts are open pastry case containing sweet or savory filling. Tart crusts are made of flour,unsalted butter, cold water and sometimes sugar, mainly from pastry dough. It should be firm and crumbly crust.

I have prepared mini tarts in mini size molds. In this recipe the filling is a sweet indian dessert called gajar halwa or carrot dessert. This dish is a french and Indian fusion recipe. After the mini tarts (which are French origin )were prepared it was topped with gajar halwa(Indian dish).

Take the dough out of the refrigerator. Keep it out for 5 minutes. Spread it out with a rolling pin on your working board. It will be difficult to roll out. So u can spread a cling roll on top of the dough and spread it out. Cut required circles with a cutter.

Keep each dough disk inside the mini tray and press it on to the sides.
