Packed with nuts, raisins, and infused with cardamom, this sweet Indian Carrot Dessert (Gajar Ka Halwa) is made from a combination of milk, sugar, ghee, and carrots. It resembles pudding and has a unique texture and taste. SO GOOD! Long time no see, guys! I've been crazy busy lately so sorry for that.
To begin making the Gajar Halwa Recipe, make sure you have all the ingredients ready and kept by the side. Heat ghee in a heavy bottomed pan; add the carrots and sauté for a few minutes until the carrots become lightly soft. Add the milk and turn the heat to medium high and allow the milk and carrot mixture to come to a boil.
Veggies in sweet things is not something I'm used to, that's for sure. This Indian carrot dessert is also known as carrot halwa or carrot pudding. The Indian name is Gajar Ka Halwa. I will be frank with you.
Milk: Use full fat or whole milk to get a tasty carrot halwa. For a low fat version just reduce the amount of milk in the recipe or use low fat milk. You can also skip or reduce the amount of ghee. If you are a vegan you can make this halwa with coconut or almond milk.
