Gajar Ka Halwa | Carrot Halwa Recipe (Alternate Method)
Ensure that the carrots are juicy and tender. You could use any variety of carrots (red or orange), but they should be tender.
Grating carrots in a food processor is much easier than grating with a box grater or a hand-held grater.
In a heavy kadai or wok, add all of the grated carrots
Pour in 4 cups full-fat milk. Switch on the burner.
Mix the grated carrots and milk together.
Cook this mixture on a low-medium heat. After a few minutes, the milk will begin to froth and then start slowly reducing.
Keep stirring this halwa mixture often, scraping the sides of the kadai to remove the evaporated milk solids. Stir the milk solids into the cooking mixture.
Cook the carrot and milk mixture until the liquid is reduced by 75%.
Add 4 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter). Note that some milk will be there when you add the ghee.
Mix very well.
Next, add 10 to 12 tablespoons sugar, or to taste.
Add cardamom powder – 5 to 6 green cardamom pods powdered finely in a mortar-pestle, or about ½ to 1 teaspoon pre-ground cardamom powder.
Mix very well.
Continue to simmer on a low flame, stirring often.

Note: Chop the nuts before you add. Raisins can be kept whole. If using saffron, then you can add at this step.
Mix again and continue to stir and simmer.
Simmer till the halwa mixture becomes dry. The milk should evaporate completely and you will see fine milk solids in the mixture. You will also see some ghee being
Remember to scrape the milk solids stuck at the sides of the kadai or pan and add them back to the carrot halwa. Some moisture is also fine in the halwa.
