Another sweetie from my humble kitchen :D Actually wait, it was a couple friends' kitchen :D Haryanvi-style gajar ka halwa!
You'll need:
- 1 kg carrots
- 1 litre milk
- 1 tsp crushed cardamom seeds
- 3/4 cups water
- 3 tbsp ghee
- 2 tbsp raisins
- 2 tbsp almonds
- 2 tbsp pistachios
- 2 tbsp cashews
- 450 gm sugar
- 200 gm khoya
1. Start by washing & grating the carrots.
2. Soak the raisins in water for 30 min.
3. Put the water to boil; once it starts boiling, add the carrots. Cook for 7 min & add the milk.Then cook on a low flame, stirring occasionally.
4. Add the sugar. Mix well till it dissolves & all the milk is absorbed. Then add ghee & let it simmer for 3 min.
5. Finally, add khoya & mix well. Then add the cardamom seeds & raisins. Again, mix well :D
6. Take this off from the heat & spread it out on a serving bowl/plate. Top it off with the almonds, pistachios & cashews.
GKH done. TipToEat: Serve piping gajar ka halwa with rabdi or even vanilla ice cream. Yum!!
