Gajar ka Halwa
Winters and Gajar Halwa go hand in hand, how true is it? I
am sure you all are going to agree that the winter season seems complete only
after eating the most sought after Gajar ka Halwa, “sabka pasndeeda”. Home made gajar halwa is a treat for one and all and the one made
by Mom is heavenly. Here is my recipe of the Gajar ka Halwa, hope you all enjoy
it. Some effort is required for this lip smacking dish, but, I can guarantee
that the effort is worth.
Ingredients:
Carrots- 1 kg
Ghee- 3 tablespoons
Sugar- 300-350 gms
Cream- 200-250 gms
Cardamom Powder (optional) - ½ teaspoon
Cashews, Almonds and kismis for decoration
Method:
Peel the carrots, remove the core and grate. Heat ghee in a
pan and add grated carrots and keep frying till the juice of the carrot dries
up, then add cream and keep stirring till the mixture becomes dry. Finally add
sugar and keep stirring till the mixture leaves the sides of the utensil and
ghee separates out. The halwa is ready, remove from heat and add cardamom powder,
almonds, cashews and kismis.
Variations-
You can use milk instead of cream if you wish to have a low fat version of
gajar halwa. Khoya can also be used in place of cream to get a richer n more
flavoursome gajar ka halwa. You may use sweetened condensed milk as well, sugar will have to be adjusted accordingly then.
