Carrot Halwa - Gajar Ka Halwa

Gajar Ka Halwa









Carrot Halwa is a famous North Indian Dessert. Its made up with the fewest ingredients possible. It just has carrot, milk , sugar and ghee in it. Even with this less ingredients, it comes out very tasty. I tried it and i felt the stirring part to be a bit more but as far as the outcome is good am  fine with stirring or working a lot.

It took me all together 40 -50 mins to cook this including the preparation part

Ingredients (Serves 4)
Grated Carrot - 450 gms
Milk - 2 cups
Ghee - 3 tbsp
Sugar - 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder - a pinch
Cashew - few (for garnishing)

Boil the milk and let it boil for some time and get thickened. I let it boil for 10 mins. Keep stirring so that it doesn't get burnt.
Now heat the ghee in a pan and add the grated carrot and let it cook for some time. It will change color and texture once its cooked well. It took 8 mins for me.
Now add the milk along with sugar and cardamom powder and let it cook in the milk. Keep stirring till all the milk is absorbed.No need to keep on stirring continuously. Stir occasionally. It took 20 mins for me.
Do a test taste and let it cook till it starts leaving the edge of your pan.

Roast the cashews and add into this as garnishing.
Serve warm or chilled

Try and let me know how it went for you.

Happy Eating!!!
