Are you tired of spending so much time making Gajar Halwa? Then swipe to see how to make delicious Gajar Halwa in no time!
For this quick recipe, gather: 3-4 carrots 1 cup milk 1/2 cup water 3 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons ghee A pinch of cardamom
Grate the carrots finely to ensure they cook quickly. Fresh, tender carrots work best for a soft, creamy halwa!
Add the grated carrots, milk, and water to the pressure cooker. Pressure cook for about 2-3 whistles. This will help save time and give the halwa that rich, soft texture.
Once the carrots are cooked, mix in the sugar. Saute the mixture on medium heat for a few minutes until the sugar dissolves and the halwa thickens.
Wait to add the ghee until after pressure cooking. This helps achieve that beautiful dark orange/red color, which is the hallmark of a perfect Gajar Halwa.
Now, add 2 tablespoons of ghee to the halwa mixture. Stir it in well and continue to sauté the mixture until the ghee is absorbed and the halwa becomes thick and fragrant.
Once the halwa reaches the perfect consistency, it's ready to serve! Garnish with chopped nuts like almonds or cashews if you like.
