Carrot Halwa / Gajar ka Halwa
Gajar ka Halwa is one of the most popular
Indian dessert made with Grated carrots, milk, sugar and nuts
which are stirred and cooked together.
It
was drizzling outside and my daughter was
not willing to go for her dance class... To get her into the mood of attending
the class, I told her that we will go the shop and buy Carrots and make Carrot
Halwa like her Grandmother makes and she needs to help me with making the dish after she is back
from her class. She was very thrilled about
this idea of her helping me to make the dish and we went to the nearby shop and
I involved her in picking up the fresh red coloured carrots and also got her to
give the shop keeper the money. I
dropped her to her class and went back home.
She
returned back and checked if I had made the Halwa and I replied I was waiting
for her to come back and help me :).
With a sweet little smile, she asked me what she needs to help me with. I gave her little work i.e. take the milk out
of the fridge, remove the skin of the cardamom, and to break the Cashews into
pieces... she was very much involved in what she was doing;). This is exactly what happens when you
cook...put in all the efforts and your dish will be superb!
Let's
get to the Kitchen to make this dish which takes some time but the result will
be fabulous!!
Ingredients
:
Cleaned
washed and Grated Carrot - 2 cups
Method
:
In a non stick pan put the grated carrot and stir
fry the carrots till the raw smell leaves.
It should take around 2 to 3 minutes.
Now add the hot milk and allow this mixture to cook well. Stir continuously so that the mixture does
not stick to the bottom of the pan till the liquid evaporates. Add the sugar and cardamom powder and 1 tsp
ghee cook for few more minutes. Fry the
Cashewnuts in 1 tsp ghee and transfer few to the halwa. Rest of the Cashewnuts can be used for
decorating the halwa.
Your yummy and
