Gajar Ka Halwa

15 Jan Gajar Ka Halwa

In this fast paced life, we always look forward to certain food items which demand instant cooking process. And as a result, our blog is also full of instant recipes. But when it comes to Gajar Ka Halwa, we always say a Big NO to instant cooking method. Because the taste which lies in the Gajar ka Halwa made on slow cooking, is matchless and simply out of the world.

Although there is no complexity in the cooking process or in the availability of ingredients, but what you require is utmost patience and esteemed love.

From beginning to end, it took us about 3 hours in making this Gajar ka Halwa and at last, we had a bowl full of beautiful aromatic hot Halwa.

We have tried to make it little healthy but adding the brown sugar instead of regular sugar without entering into any compromise with the taste.

INGREDIENTS

Carrots – 1 kg

Milk – 1 Litre

Desi ghee – 2 tbsp

Brown Sugar or white Sugar – 1 cup

Cardamom essence or powder – 2 tsp

Dry fruits as per your choice

YIELDS

5-6 servings

METHOD

1.Wash, peel off the outer layer and  grate the carrots with the help of the grater or in food processor.

2. Place a non stick pan on gas stove and add ghee in it.

3. Once the ghee starts melting, add grated carrots and saute it for about 5 minutes at low flame.

4. Then pour milk into the pan and mix it with carrots. Stir occasionally.

5. When the milk reduces to half, add brown sugar and cardamom essence.

6. Cook until all of the milk is completely evaporated leaving behind nice creamy textured Gajar Halwa. Do remember that the entire process must go on low flame.

7. Mix some dry fruits in the Halwa and reserve some for garnishing.

8. Gajar Halwa is ready to be served now. Serve it hot.
