  3. 200 gmSugar
  4. 6 cupfull fat milk
  5. 1/2 cupghee
  6. 1 tspCardamom powder (optional)

Cooking Instructions

1 hour
  1. 1

    First rinse, peel 1 kg carrots,Then grate the carrots either with a grater or in a food processor. In a kadhai heat half cup ghee,now add all of the grated carrots.Pour 6 cups full-fat milk.

  2. 2

    Mix the grated carrots and milk together.Cook this mixture on a low to medium flame. After some minutes, the milk will begin to froth first and then start reducing slowly and slowly.

  3. 3

    Keep on stirring this halwa mixture often, simmer carrots in milk and stir also at intervals, so that the milk does not stick to the bottom of the pan.Cook the carrot+milk mixture till milk is reduced by 75%.Next add 10 to 12 tspoons sugar or as required.

  4. 4

    Continue to simmer on a low flame. Do stir often.Simmer till the halwa mixture starts to thicken and reduces more.

  5. 5

    When the halwa has reduced much and you see a little milk then You can add your choice of nuts and dry fruits. I have added cashews, almonds and golden raisins. Chop the nuts before you add. Raisins can be kept whole. If using saffron, then you can add at this step.

  6. 6

    Mix again and continue to stir and simmer.Simmer till the whole halwa mixture becomes dry.you will also see some ghee being released from the sides. remember to scrape the milk solids stuck at the sides of the kadai or pan and add them to the gajar halwa. Some moisture is also fine in the halwa.

  7. 7

    Serve gajar ka halwa hot or warm. Refrigerate the leftovers and while serving you can warm the halwa. Garnish with some chopped dry fruits while serving.
