Nutty Gajar ka Halwa (गाजर का हल्वा)
This nutty Gajar Ka Halwa with my special trick is definately a mouth watering version of the Gajar Halwa you have ever tried.
Ingredients
- 1 kg red carrot लाल गाजर/हल्वा गाजर
- 1 cup milk दुध
- 1.5 cup sugar चीनी
- 2 tbsp clarified butter घी
- 1 cup Khoya खोया
- 2 tbsp cream मलाय
- 8 chopped almond बादाम
- 8 chopped cashew nut काजु
- 12 raisins कीस्मीस
- 5 cardamom हरी एलाइची
- 8 chopped pista पीस्ता
Instructions
- Wash, peel and grate the carrots.
- In a clean heavy bottomed kadai, add the carrots and milk and cook covered for 10 minutes and then uncovered for 5 minutes until the milk is reduced completely.
- Add sugar and fry again until sugar is dissolved.
- Add Khoya, clarified butter (ghee) and cream and fry again until halwa leaves kadai from side. (Adding cream is my special trick for giving carrot halwa a nutty flavour.)
- Garnish with Dry fruits (almonds, cashewnuts, raisins and pista)
- Switch off the flame, add cardamom powder and mix well.
- Serve hot.
