Carrot Halwa or Gajar Ka Halwa- 100th Post

Gajar Ka Halwa or Carrot Halwa is one of the wonderful sweets. I am very happy to announce that this is my 100th Posting. It is mouth watering sweet which will be loved by everyone. This can be prepared in many ways, but today I am preparing it in my version.

All you need: A wide non stick pan, spatula, grater for grating carrot.

Serves- 5

Preparation time- 30mts

Ingredients:

Carrots- 3 large

Sugar- 1/2 cup

Milk- 1.5 cups

Cardomom powder - 1tsp

Unsalted Butter or ghee- 1/2 cup

Cashew nuts- 1/4 cup

Preparations:

1. Wash, peal and grate the carrots and keep aside.

Method:

1. Heat a wide non stick pan, add butter or ghee, once the ghee is melted, add broken cashew nuts, stir well and fry till light golden colour.

2. Add grated carrots, stir well and fry abt 10mts by stirring for every minute.

3. Once the carrots are almost cooked (U can check by touching the carrot grain with fingers), add boiled milk, mix well and cook again abt 5mts. The grated carrot will be well cooked in milk.

4. When the carrots started thickening, add cardomom or ilachi powder, sugar, mix well and cook again for 5mts.

5. The halwa gets thickening. Switch off the stove when the consistency is little loose so the halwa thickens at room temperature.

6. You can either serve it hot or keep in freezer and serve it chilled.

It can be preserved abt 4 days of time.
