Join me and let's see how to make Gajar Halwa

Instructions:

    Step 1
  • Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan and add the grated carrots. Sauté them on medium heat until they turn soft and aromatic, stirring occasionally.
  • Step 2
  • Pour in the milk and let it simmer over low heat. Keep stirring frequently and let the carrots cook until they absorb most of the milk, and the mixture thickens.
  • Step 3
  • Add sugar and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the halwa thickens and the ghee starts to separate from the mixture.
  • Step 4
  • Mix in the cardamom powder and saffron strands (if using). Continue to cook until the halwa reaches the desired consistency.
  • Step 5
  • In a separate pan, roast the chopped nuts in a little ghee until they turn golden.
  • Step 6
  • Add the roasted nuts to the halwa, leaving some for garnishing.
  • Step 7
  • Serve the warm Gajar Halwa garnished with the remaining nuts. Enjoy this delightful Indian dessert!
