Notes

Tips for Gajar Ka Halwa Recipe

1. Use fresh, tender, and juicy carrots for good taste.
2. Use Delhi carrots for a vibrant and red coloured carrot halwa recipe.
3. I used a normal vegetable grater, but it takes time. You can use a food processor to quicken the process.
4. I used full-fat milk, so didn't use khova. If preferred, use 1/4 cup at the final stage, it thickens the halwa fast.
5. Use a heavy-bottomed pan / non-stick pan otherwise, the halwa gets burnt at the bottom.
6. Also saute the carrots well (step 3) in ghee, to avoid the raw smell of the veggie.
7. Ensure the carrots are cooked completely before adding sugar, else it won't gets cooked afterward.
8. The addition of condensed milk is optional, but it enriches the taste of gajar ka halwa recipe.
9. This halwa stays good for 1 week under refrigeration, serve it either warm or chilled.
