Gajar Ka Halwa | Indian Carrot Pudding

Gajar Ka Halwa | Indian Carrot Pudding
About Gajar Ka Halwa Recipe

Gajar Ka Halwa is a classic Indian carrot pudding. It usually has few spices such as cardamom and few nuts. For a faster Gajar Ka Halwa, use canned carrot instead of regular grated carrot. Boil it and mash it.

To make condensed milk, heat regular whole milk with sugar on a medium-low heat. The milk will condense into something like condense milk. While heating milk, dip a ladle into the milk so that the milk would not boil over

1 cup sugar
3 tablespoon ghee (substitute butter)
½ cup condensed milk
¾ cup khoya (use ricotta cheese if not available)

1/4 cup cashews
2 tablespoon dates

Use less sugar than you normally want in this carrot pudding to cut down on calories. You can also use sugar substitute splenda but it may give you a slightly different taste.
