Recipe

Step 1

In a big pan, add four cups of grated carrots on a medium flame. Try to use only the red part of the carrots, avoiding the greenish-white hard section, so that the lovely red colour of carrots stay intact evenly in our dessert. Mix the carrots well and let it cook for five minutes.

Step 2

After five minutes of cooking the carrots, add four cups of sugar, try to use powdered sugar as it will blend easily into the carrots. As soon as you add sugar and mix it with the carrots, both the ingredients will start to lose moisture. Once this happens, stir continuously so that the flavour intensifies. At this stage, you will also witness great aroma coming from the dish.

Once all the moisture is reduced from the sugar and carrots mix, its time to add another ingredient at this important stage. Add one big tablespoon of desi ghee into the pan.

Step 4

Now it’s time to add half a cup of milk. This will help in binding all the ingredients together and enhance the flavour and aroma of Gajar Halwa to a great extent. Now cook until the milk is reduced, then switch off the flame.
