Gajar Ka Halwa

Not a new name for any of you but I made it after a long time today so thought of sharing this recipe with you all. Many people call it as gajrela as well. My mom used to make it in winters and we all specially my dad is a big fan of gajar ka halwa. So I thought of making it for Aashna. May be she will remember this halwa and her mom after 20-30 years from now ;)

Tip : Please do not make it in a pressure cooker. Gajar halwa cooked in a pan without any lid and on sim flame gives the real taste of it :)

Ingredients :

1. 750 grams carrots grated
2. 2 tablespoon ghee
3. 200 grams khoya grated
4. 1 liter milk
5. 4 table spoon sugar
6. 3-4 green cardamom crushed
7. 100 grams mixed dry fruits (almonds, cashew, pistachios etc.) chopped

Method :

• Take a nonstick pan and heat ghee in it. 

• Add carrots to it and cooking them. Cook them on low flame for about 30 minutes and keep stirring it every two minutes. 

• Add sugar, green cardamons and milk to it and let it boil till its dried up.

• Add half of the khoya and mix well. Switch off the flame and add half of the dry fruits. Many people add dry fruits during cooking but I like dry fruits not to loose their crunch so I add them at the end.

• Put halwa in a bowl and garnish with leftover khoya and dry fruits.
