Preparation Method
Grate the entire Gajar/ Carrot and put it in a bowl. Then take a deep
Frying pan of 3 liters/ Kadai and pour the ghee into it. Now add the
Carrots into the ghee and stir the Carrots till they become slightly red
in color. Once the carrots turn red add the milk to the carrots. Stir
the mix constantly and keep the gas at its lowest so that the milk
dosen't come out. After 10 minutes add the sugar and the dry fruits to
the mix. Keep on stirring constantly till the milk gets dried up.
It takes about 30 - 45 minutes for the Gajar ka halwa to get prepared.
Don't make haste and don't increase the flame, otherwise the halwa will
loose it flavour. Once the entire milk gets dried up, serve hot. It also
tastes good when not hot.
