Gajar ka Halwa – Carrot pudding

August 15, 2013 By Priya Shiva 6 Comments

Print Recipe

Gajar ka halwa is a carrot pudding garnished with some mixed nuts. I have lived more than half of my life in Delhi and as a foodie, I have a special attachment to that place. I’m also fond of sweets and desserts and reading my blog, you all would have understood that by now 🙂 I usually wait for the lovely red carrots or Delhi carrots as we call them to make this pudding and the wait is usually long as they are only available in winters.  I do occasionally indulge in making this dessert with the available carrots and add loads of dry fruits to it. You will love this dessert if you love carrots. So, sharing a quick recipe and hope you all make it and enjoy with your family.

Let’s first learn how to make khoya..

Ingredients:

Milk – 500 ml

Method:

1) Take a pan and add 1/2 liter milk and bring it to boiling point.
2) Lower the flame and continue to boil. Keep stirring so that it does not stick to the pan.
3) Stir vigorously when milk starts to thicken. Khoya is ready when the milk stops simmering and its completely dry.
4) Transfer it into a boil and keep it aside to cool.

Read complete recipe and my above notes to make this halwa. Hope you enjoy it with your family and friends..
