This is my 300th post, to celebrate this special occasion, I made this carrot halwa. Carrot Halwa recipe is very famous Indian Dessert (sweet) in India. Gajar Halwa / Gajrala with milk is made across India on all special occasions like Diwali, New Year, holi and for family function. You can make carrot halwa in different ways like in pressure cooker, in microwave or in stove top. I already posted the recipe for carrot halwa / gajar ka halwa in microwave. In this carrot halwa recipe, I used red Delhi carrots, you can use any carrots to make this halwa like ooty carrots or the one which available in market. The carrots are cooked in milk, ghee and sugar in a slow flame in a open pan for an hour which turns into delicious and tongue tingling halwa. This carrot halwa was very pleasing to eyes and tastes heavenly with nuts on top. I personally love to eat carrot halwa with ice cream on top. Make this carrot halwa at home and enjoy…
