Gajar Ka Halwa literally means Carrot Sweet/Halwa. Juicy Carrots are first shredded and pan fried on a low flame until they turn into a rich color and milk and sugar are added to make this mouth-watering delicacy. Gajar ka Halwa is a popular choice of winter in India and Pakistan. Ingredients
- Carrots - 10 (finely shredded)
- Purified Butter/Ghee - 1 tbs
- Milk - 1.5 cup(s)
- Sugar - 1 cup/or more according to preference
- Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews,pistachios, raisins) - handful chopped (for garnish)
Preparation
Heat a deep pan/skillet. Add a tablespoon of clarified butter/ghee and let it melt.
Add the shredded carrot and saute (approx 15 mins.) on a low flame until the carrot changes color to a caramelized color/light brown. Take care not to burn the carrot. The raw smell should also disappear by now.
