Gajar Halwa (Indian Sweet Carrot Pudding)
A winter specialty, Gajar Halwa is a decadent carrot pudding which is a must-have for every Indian wedding. It is flavored with cardamom, and enriched with a generous amount of nuts.

Instructions

Prepare the carrots and dry fruits
- Wash carrots thoroughly in cold water.
- Peel the carrots, grate finely and keep aside.
- In a large pot over medium heat, add the Ghee and let it melt completely.
- Add the cashew nuts, almonds, and raisins and fry until golden brown. Keep aside
-
Cook the carrots in milk
- In the same pot as the Ghee, add the grated carrot and cook until they start changing color slightly or for about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add the milk and stir well. Boil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Continue to boil until the carrots are cooked well and milk is reduced till it thickens or for about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Once the milk thickens completely, add the sugar. Mix well and cook until the sugar dissolves and thickens.
- Continue cooking until the Halwa thickens and Ghee is released from the sides, or for about 10 minutes.

Combine ingredients and finish Halwa
- Turn the flame off and add the Khoya, cardamom powder and the fried dry fruits.
