Recipe Summary Gajar Ka Halwa (Carrot Halwa)

Try this recipe if you want to know how to make traditional Indian gajar ka halwa, or carrot halwa. A lovely dessert anytime, I most recently made it for Diwali. This is the 'old school' method that uses whole milk, not condensed milk. You can use ghee instead of oil for initially cooking the carrots, if desired.

Ingredients | Ruby Ka Kitchen All Recipes Chicken

2 tablespoons sunflower seed oil

2 pounds carrots, grated

1 ½ quarts whole milk

2 cups white sugar

½ cup raisins

1 ½ teaspoons ground cardamom

1 pinch saffron threads

8 tablespoons chopped pistachio nuts

Directions

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and add carrots. Cook and stir briefly, about 3 minutes. Pour in milk and increase heat; bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently, uncovered, for 1 hour.

Bring carrot-milk mixture back to a boil. Add sugar, raisins, cardamom, and saffron. Cook and stir until mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes.

Ladle carrot halwa into 8 individual serving dishes. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon pistachios. Serve warm or chill before serving.

You can substitute sultanas for the raisins.
