Ingredients
- 1 kilogram carrots
- 2 liter full cream milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
- 2 tsp pistachios chopped
- 1 spoon ghee/clarified butter
Instructions
- To make gajar ka halwa we will need red long carrots. Peel wash and grate the carrots and keep aside.
- In a thick bottom pan, pour milk and bring it to boil.
- Drop the grated carrots into it and let it simmer on medium flame.
- Keep stirring it constantly on regular intervals.
- Once the carrots are cooked and turn soft & mushy, you will notice that milk gradually starts to reduce and turn thick like mawa/khoya.
- It will take around 1.5 hours to reach this stage.
- At this time add sugar and cardamom/elaichi powder. Mix and cook further till sugar is dissolved and the water released from the sugar dries up completely.
- Before turning off the flame add a spoon of ghee/clarified butter and give a nice mix.
- Taste it and adjust the sweetness according. Transfer this to serving bowls and garnish with chopped pistachios.
- Serve hot.
- If any leftovers, which I am sure won't be, refrigerate it and warm it again while serving.
