Ingredients:
- 1 kg grated carrots
- 1 liter full-fat milk
- 1 cup sugar (or to taste)
- 1/4 cup ghee (clarified butter)
- 1/4 cup chopped mixed nuts (cashews, almonds, pistachios)
- 1 tsp cardamom powder
- Pinch of saffron (optional)
Instructions:
- In a heavy-bottomed pan or kadhai, heat the ghee and add the grated carrots. Stir well and cook on medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes until the carrots release their moisture and start to turn soft.
- Add the milk and stir well. Cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, until the milk is completely absorbed and the mixture thickens.
- Add the sugar and stir well. Continue cooking on low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture thickens further. This should take about 30-40 minutes.
- Add the cardamom powder and saffron (if using) and stir well. Cook for another 5-10 minutes until the halwa reaches the desired consistency.
- Turn off the heat and add the chopped nuts. Mix well.
- Serve hot or cold, garnished with more chopped nuts, as per your coice, don't hesitate.
Tips and Tricks:
- Use fresh, tender and juicy carrots to make the halwa.
- Grate the carrots finely for a smooth and creamy texture.
- Use full-fat milk for a richer and creamier halwa.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pan or kadhai to prevent the halwa from sticking to the bottom and burning.
- Stir frequently while cooking to prevent the halwa from sticking to the bottom and to ensure even cooking.
- Adjust the amount of sugar as per your taste preferences.
- Add a pinch of saffron for a beautiful color and aroma.
- Add the nuts at the end to retain their crunchiness.
- Store the leftover halwa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Enjoy your delicious homemade Gajar Halwa!
