Ingredients
Gajar Ka Halwa
Directions
Here is the step by step method to make the most delicious Gajar Halwa..
Firstly, pour the milk into the large saucepan and bring to a boil, whilst continuously stirring. This is so the milk doesn't stick to the bottom as burning the milk will ruin the flavour of the dessert. Ruky Tip- We always use a large pan because it is easier to work with and it allows the ingredients to be incorporated well
Whilst the milk is boiling, begin to prepare the carrots. Peel and grate them ( We used 1kg of carrots before we grated and peeled them)
Once the milk is approaching a boil, add in all of the grated carrots
Once the milk begins to burn off, In a seperate pan, add in the ghee and nuts.
Then add the sugar and nuts into the carrot mixture.
Once most of the milk has burned off, add in the cardamom, salt and a pinch of saffron. By incorporating the salt, it can help in bringing out the flavours.
Once the ghee begins to come up to the sides of the pan you will know that the halwa is ready.
Conclusion
Serve and Enjoy warm with some Vanilla ice cream on the side!
