As winter arrives, everyone prepares carrot halwa at home, so I will make carrot halwa in a completely traditional way today. This recipe brings the warmth and sweetness of winter with the richness of milk, ghee, and dry fruits. It's a classic Indian dessert that is loved by all and perfect for the season.
Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Take one liter of full cream milk and let it thicken on medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
Meanwhile, peel and grate the carrots.
Once the milk has completely thickened, add the grated carrots to it and cook well until the carrots soften and the mixture thickens further.
Add sugar to the mixture and continue cooking until all the water has evaporated.
Add ghee and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously.
Finally, add grated mawa and cardamom powder. Mix well and cook for a few more minutes.
Garnish with dry fruits like raisins, almonds, and cashew nuts before serving.
Use fresh and juicy carrots for the best flavor.
Stir the milk frequently while thickening to avoid burning.
Adjust the sugar quantity based on your sweetness preference.
You can roast the dry fruits slightly before garnishing for added flavor.
Can I use low-fat milk instead of full cream milk?
Full cream milk is recommended for richness, but you can use low-fat milk if preferred. The texture may vary slightly.
Can I skip mawa?
Mawa adds richness to the halwa, but you can skip it or replace it with condensed milk for a similar effect.
How do I store carrot halwa?
Store carrot halwa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat before serving.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes, you can use almond milk or coconut milk instead of full cream milk and replace ghee with coconut oil or vegan butter.
What type of dry fruits can I use?
You can use raisins, almonds, cashew nuts, pistachios, or any dry fruits of your choice.
