How To Make a Gajar Ka Halwa Recipe: A Crispy Carrot Dessert
Gajar ka Halwa is a dry sweet dish that is famous and common in Punjabi Kitchens.
Section 1: Gajar Halwa Making Process
1. Take 1 medium-sized carrot and wash it thoroughly. Grind it into a coarse powder. Set aside.
2. Take one cup of sugar and 2 tbsp ghee in a pan. Heat it and stir continuously until the sugar and ghee melt.
3. Stir till the mixture forms a creamy caramel color. Keep stirring until the ghee and sugar become fully dissolved in the liquid.
It is advised that you stir continuously so as to maintain the caramel consistency. Do not over-stir the caramel because the caramel will get hardened. If you add too much ghee you will have thick gajar ka halwa instead of soft caramel.
4. While the ghee and sugar melt, add the ground carrot and mix well. Do not over-mix the carrot as the sugar will stick on the carrots as well.
5. Keep stirring continuously until the sugar and ghee melts completely.
