Gajar Halwa

Hello All,

Today I will share with everyone the recipe for Gajar ka Halwa. Popular all over India, especially in Bollywood and also in TV serials, this recipe needs no introduction. So without wasting much time let me get started with the ingredients needed to prepare yummy Gajar ka Halwa or Gajar No Halwa as it is referred in Gujarati.

Ingredients:

1 Kg Carrot

2 Litres Milk

150 gms Sugar

8 pieces of Cardamom

15 gms Ghee

¼ teaspoon Nutmeg

Dry Fruits like Raisin, Cashew and Almonds

Method:

Wash Carrots properly with water. Dry them with a hand napkin or cloth. Peel its skin and grate them with a hand grater.

Take a non-stick pan. Add ghee to it and heat it. Once heated add grated carrot to it. Cook it for 10-15 mins on low flame with regular stirring. Do not cover the lid of the pan. 

Once the color of the cooked carrot changes and you can see that its juice is no more there, add boiled milk to it. Cook it for 30 mins with regularly stirring in between so that it does not stick to the edges of the pan.

Add dry fruits, nutmeg, sugar and cardamom to it. Cook for 15 more mins till you can see that there is no milk in the Halwa and you can easily stir it in a way that it does not stick to the edges. 

Transfer it to a bowl and garnish with Dry fruits. Gajar ka halwa is ready to eat. :-)

Note : If you are not able to get fresh and seasonal juicy carrots, add 500 ml more milk while cooking Halwa.

Have a Gr8 time ahead!
