X-mas and Gajar Ka Halwa




X-mas is celebrated as the birthday for prabhu Yishu, Though, I am not Christian, but like every religion it spread the message of love, peace and non-violence and akin to every festivals it spread positive vibes and happiness among the family in busy schedule of life. It is also celebrated as beginning of New Year. I love festivals, and celebrations of them give me immense pleasure and happiness, moreover to them, on every festival my mummy astonished us with her delicious recipes, it’s Sunday morning around 11am my cousins and brother start decorating Christmas tree, and they got some colourful ribbons, lights, gifts-chocolate, for mummy and daddy.

But, for me most anticipated thing is gajar ka halwa and today I am going to share the recipe of this...though i helped mummy in preparing of halwa. It’s not first time I cooked something.

I started with grating the carrots, almost around 3 kg of carrots i grate today. After completion of Halwa i realized it has not big deal, one can cook it for self as required.

So, please note down the ingredients for Gajar ka Halwa.
1.     Carrots, 3 kg grated
2.     Milk, around 1 kg
3.     Desi Ghee, ½ kg
4.     Sugar, 750 Gram
5.     One teaspoon cardamom powder
6.     Dry Fruits, whatever and how much u like

Preparation time 45 minutes
Suitable for – 12-15 persons

I washed the carrots before to peel them and grate them finely.  After putting the frying pan on gas, add desi ghee in the frying pan and as the ghee start melted add the carrots in the pan.

Mildly mix them and fry the carrots for 10-15 minutes without covering the pan, keep on stirring regularly.

Add sugar and skimmed milk to the carrots in the pan, and again cooked it for 20-25 minutes.

Its winter season so frying the dry fruit is best for crunchy taste; add them to halwa for garnishing.

So, finely our lovely gajar ka halwa is ready, add cardamom powder to enhance the flavour.

Well, it’s 6pm, and I am enjoying festivals with delicious gajar ka halwa....


Merry Christmas
Spread love
