  • Serve and enjoy.

BRIEF COOKING PROCESS :

Preparation : Take 1 kg fresh red carrots. Rinse and peel them. Trim both the ends of carrots and grate them nicely. For grating the carrots use held hand held grater or a food processor. Now chop dry fruit – cashews, almonds, pistachios. Soak raisins in warm water.

Cooking :  Take a thick bottomed pan and pour 1.5 l milk into the pan. Turn on the flame and let the milk simmer. When milk comes to a boil, turn the flame to medium. Stir it and add grated carrots. Now simmer it till the milk froth and start reducing slowly and slowly. Stir in interval and keep scraping the sides of the kadhayi and mix the solid milk with cooking mixture. After half an hour you will notice that the raw smell of carrots is now disappearing. You can use mava instead of adding milk but we are making halwa in traditional way. If you will use home-made mawa, it will also take this much time. If you want, you can also make halwa in pressure cooker. To enhance the flavor of halwa use full fat milk. When halwa gets almost dry keep stirring it so that it roast evenly and does not burn in bottom of the pan. Add clarified butter to  the pan and simmer it again for 10-12 minutes. Now add crushed or chopped dry fruits( almonds, cashews and pistachios and soaked raisins) to the mixture and roast them too for about 2-3 minutes. Mix it well and add 1/2 tsp of cardamom powder if you want. Now add sugar to the pan you will notice that once again the mixture has become liquefied. Cook it again till it thickens again. This whole process will take 1-1.5 hours.

Now your delicious Indian traditional dessert “Gajar Ka Halwa” is ready. Serve and enjoy.

TIPS :

Add 1/2 tsp of cardamom powder for fragrance.

Add melon seeds, if you like.

Don’t use raisins without soaking it.

If you are using pistachios, make sure that they are unsalted.

Minimize the amount of sugar if you are diabetic.
