| Gajar Ka Halwa |
Whenever we go home, we really enjoy the mom’s special dish gajar ka halwa. Even, we are full of our appetite, our mom serves us her delicious gajar ka halwa recipe from the corner of her kitchen’s full menu. I remember, at my home, we all siblings really admire the taste of halwa and the aroma which was really tempting and made us complete the full bowl of gajar ka halwa in a minute. That delicious smell is always in my mind now. I really miss those days and tried my best to recreate the taste of the same gajar ka halwa as mom’s cook it.

Method to prepare gajar ka halwa
Step1: Chop and grate all the carrots. Put a cooker on gas. Add ghee in it and let it heat for 2 minutes.
Step2: Now add the grated carrot into it. Let it properly fry for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step3: Now add the milk to the cooker and slow the gas flame. Let it cook until the carrot becomes mushy. We can smell the fragrance of carrot dissolved in the cooked milk. It is amazing in its own way.

Step5: Add the grated dry fruits and cardamom and sugar to the cooked carrot. Now fry the carrot until it absorbs the milk properly.
