Description

Gajar Ka Halwa, or Carrot Halwa, is a rich, decadent dessert originating from the Indian subcontinent, widely popular across India, Pakistan, and beyond. This classic dessert combines the natural sweetness of carrots with the richness of milk, sugar, and ghee, resulting in a dish that is both comforting and indulgent. The primary ingredient, grated carrots, is slow-cooked in a mixture of milk and ghee until they are completely softened and the mixture thickens. Sugar is then added to sweeten the halwa, and it is flavored with cardamom, adding a subtle, aromatic warmth that perfectly complements the sweetness of the carrots. The preparation of Gajar Ka Halwa is a labor of love. It involves stirring the mixture continuously on a low flame to achieve the perfect texture and flavor concentration. The addition of khoya or Mawa (reduced milk solids) is common, lending the halwa an extra layer of creaminess and richness. The halwa is typically garnished with chopped nuts like almonds, pistachios, and cashews, which add a delightful crunch and nuttiness to the soft, mushy texture of the dessert. for Direct Sourcing from India Please Visit
