Instructions

  • First wash the carrots nicely in running water and then peel them. Next grate the carrot finely with the grater. The Food Processor can also be used to grate easily.
  • Heat ghee (clarified) in a heavy bottom pan or wok  Add the chopped cashews, almonds and pistas. Slightly roast them and keep aside
  • In the same ghee, add the grated carrots. Saute them stirring continuously for nearly 4-5 minutes or till the carrots nearly changes color.
  • Add milk and stir well. Now get it to a boil, and stir occasionally, till the milk is absorbed by the carrots.  Here stirring is necessary to avoid the halwa getting stuck at the bottom and specially when the milk is nearly evaporating.
  • Now add sugar and stir it well. Now cook till sugar gets dissolved. Then further cook this till halwa consistency thickens and the ghee starts releasing.
  • Finally add cardamon powder, Khoya / Mawa and stir well.  Let the Khoya / Mawa get well mixed with the halwa.
  • And then add slightly roasted cashew nuts, almonds (badams) and pistachios (pista) and mix well and put the flame off. Finally the Gajar Halwa with khoya is ready to be served. It can be served either warm / hot/ chilled.

Notes

  • Milk used should be thick (full cream milk) and not thin or skimmed milk.
  • Use a heavy bottom pan for cooking, to avoid halwa stickiness
