Gajrela is often made with Red juicy Carrots available in Winters along with Powdered Rice but this one is a lovely twist by using Semolina or Suji. And basically it's rather semi thick and amazingly delicious. This is a very special recipe that is close to my heart as it was passed on to me by my grandmom. Carrots cooked in rich luscious Cream, Milk, Semolina and lots of dry Fruits and Nuts just right for any party or get togethers. It is a heavenly treat for all the Dessert lovers. You just have to dig into it to believe in it's magical flavour and taste. Loaded with all the goodness of so many ingredients makes it a sure shot hit. Semolina gives it an amazing flavour and tastes excellent.
Semolina lends it that amazing texture and flavour. It just melts in mouth and is a must have in the Season. Try it for your families and enjoy the Weather.

Happy Dessert Time!

Steps

35 minutes

1

Grate the Carrots first. Heat half of Ghee and roast these grated Carrots and let it cook on a low heat for about 10 minutes or until the raw smell fades away. Keep it covered. And keep stirring every now and then.
2

After it gets cooked and becomes tender and soft, set it aside. Bring Milk to a rolling boil on a high heat at first. Now lower the heat and add the Carrots to it. Meanwhile roast Semolina with the other half of Ghee in a pan. Semolina can be increased also but for this recipe, this measurement fits perfectly well.
3

After the Semolina changes colour a little bit, not too brown and gives a nice aroma, switch off the gas. It takes 6 to 7 minutes and should be done on a low heat.
4

By now the Carrots must be cooked thoroughly. Add Sugar and mix. To this add the Semolina and the Cardamom powder. Mix well and let it simmer on a low flame only. Next is to add the Cream. It is optional. You can skip it.
5

Let it simmer on a low heat for 7-8 minutes or until the Semolina gets incorporated really well. Garnish as per your liking with your favourite Dry Fruits and Nuts. I have used Almonds and Pistachios. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
