Gaajar Halwa is an exclusive Indian Dessert loved by people of all ages. Also it is enjoyed in a variety of different festivals and parties. Best part being that it hardly takes your time. You can do multiple things while tending to this dessert. This is a slow cook method done on a gas without Pressure Cooker. It's creamy and lusciuos. And is served with Vanilla Ice-cream for that extra punch. It can be served with any of your favourites apart from Ice-cream. It's entirely upto you. I have used Amul Fresh Cream in this. It gives this a lovely texture and has that melt in mouth super duper taste.
Happy Cooking with Zee!

Steps

40-45 minutes

1

Wash and grate your Carrots and set aside. Put the grated carrots in preferably a non-stick pot. Also add in Milk before putting it on a low heat for about 25-30 minutes.
2

Occasionally keep stirring at regular intervals. At the end of the duration, see to it that there is no raw smell left and that it looks cooked. Now add Sugar along with Ghee and Fresh Cream too.
3

Also add Saffron, slivered Almonds, Cashewnuts and Cardamom powder. Mix well and cook on a high heat by stirring it occasionally until the Sugar dissolves and makes this Halwa shiny and glossy along with a lovely aroma emanating in your Kitchen. Ghee starts leaving the sides of the kadai and it's almost complete. Top it up with some crumbled Khoya or Mawa.
4

Serve it warm or cold with a dollop of Vanilla Ice-cream or as desired.

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.
