Gaajar Halwa is an Indian sweet made using carrots. It is a favourite dish during festivals or weddings or during winters when we get fresh sweet carrots.

Carrots are loaded with Vitamin A as well as fiber. Adding milk to this dish provides calcium too. But keeping all this apart, this is a favourite dish of my family too. Mawa or khoya is generally added to this dish which gives it a rich flavor and grainy texture. But I have avoided using it and added lots of milk which too gives the halwa a delicious flavour. A little homemade ghee gives it a wonderful flavour. Also, topping it with ice cream can be a fantastic option during parties.
