Gajar Ka Halwa, a vibrantly colored Indian dessert, will tantalize your taste buds with its sweet and creamy flavor. This pudding-like treat is surprisingly simple to create, made with grated carrots, milk, sugar, and nuts. Here’s the recipe in a nutshell:
Grate carrots, saute them in ghee, and simmer with milk until it thickens. Sugar and cardamom add extra flavor, while nuts and raisins provide a delightful textural contrast. Enjoy your Gajar Ka Halwa warm or chilled!
Wash, peel, and grate the carrots using a food processor or grater. Aim for a fine grate.
Heat ghee in a pan over medium heat. Add nuts and raisins, and fry until lightly golden. Remove them from the pan and set them aside.
In the same pan with the remaining ghee, add the grated carrots. Saute for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Pour in the milk and bring it to a simmer. Keep stirring occasionally to prevent the milk from sticking to the bottom.
Continue simmering and stirring until the milk reduces by half or more.
Once the milk thickens, add sugar and cardamom powder. Stir well and continue cooking.
Keep stirring and simmering until the milk evaporates completely, and the halwa thickens to a desired consistency. It should leave the sides of the pan and gather around the edges.
Turn off the heat, add the fried nuts and raisins (if using), and mix well. Garnish with additional nuts and cardamom powder (optional). Serve Gajar Ka Halwa hot, warm, or chilled.
