Ingredients
- Carrots (गाजर) - 1 Kg
- Milk (दूध) - 1 ½ litre
- Green cardamom (छोटी इलायची) - 7-8
- Raisins (किशमिश) - 2 tbsp.
- Almonds (बादाम) - 1 tbsp.
- Dates (खजूर) - 2 tbsp.
- Ghee (घी) - 5-7 tbsp.
- Sugar (चीनी) - 5-7 tbsp.
Instructions
- Wash, peel & grate carrots (गाजर). Keep aside.
- Soak raisins (किशमिश) in a little water, shred almonds (बादाम), chop dates (खजूर). Keep aside.
- Take milk (दूध), grated carrots (गाजर) and add green cardamom (छोटी इलायची) in a thick base pan. Cook simmer until liquid evaporates.
- In a thick base pan heat ghee (घी) and add milk (दूध) - carrots (गाजर) mixture. Cook for 10-15 minute on a medium flame. Keep stirring often, so that the milk (दूध) - carrots (गाजर) mixture doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Add sugar, mix well and further cook until the gajar ka halwa turns into deep reddish color.
- Remove raisins (किशमिश) water and add into gajar ka halwa with shredded almonds (बादाम) and chopped dates (खजूर). Mix well and immediately remove from flame.
- Garnish with some shredded almonds (बादाम) and serve hot.
Notes
• If you are in hurry use condensed milk (milkmaid) instead of milk (दूध) and if needed then only add sugar (चीनी).
