Gajar Ka Halwa Recipe: How To Prepare Carrot Halwa
Gajar ka halwa is a popular North Indian sweet that is prevalent across the country. Carrot halwa is commonly prepared during festivals, celebrations and parties as well. This halwa is prepared in many different ways in different parts of the country.
Carrot halwa is authentically made out of the red Delhi carrots; however, in this recipe, we have just used normal carrots. The carrots must be fresh and juicy. This makes the gajar ka halwa tastier.
Carrot halwa is prepared by cooking grated carrots in milk and adding condensed milk to make it sweet. This halwa is seasoned with cardamom powder for its essence and aroma and is also garnished with dry fruits. Gajar ka halwa can also be cooked without adding condensed milk; in which case, more milk and sugar are added to make it rich.
Gajar ka halwa is quick and simple to prepare at home. In most weddings, gajar ka halwa is paired with ice cream, making it a delicious dessert after a heavy meal. Carrot halwa melts in your mouth and tickles your taste buds with its sweetness and its rich flavours.
Here is a simple and quick recipe on how to make gajar ka halwa at home. So, continue reading the detailed step-by-step procedure having images. Also, watch the video recipe.
