Winter is especially the time to relish Gajar Halwa with Desi Gajar / Red carrot.
Children loves this Halwa and it's best way to make them have carrot.....so a special treat on Children's Day !
Taste good when still warm. Warm it while serving if its kept in the refrigerator. Can have it like a dessert or with Puri too, the combi is great.
This is my simplest way and less ingredients recipe to make delicious Desi Gajar Halwa.
Note:
If you like, you can add mawa/ khoya made from fresh milk and garnish with it too but I added milk powder and cooked in a litre of Full cream milk so skipped Mawa.
If you desire you can fry and add the cashew nuts but I skipped it.
No need to add food color, as the milk evaporates the halwa will get its lovely orange color.
Gross weight of Carrot taken is 1 kg (÷/- )
