Gajar ko haluwa is the second easiest dessert to make, that is if you happen to have the ground carrots.(Kalakand is the easiest, in case you were wondering). If you have to grind the carrots, of course, then it makes the hardest dessert to make. I was lucky to have a grinder that could grind carrots. Grind the carrots and put them aside.
Heat some butter in a pan and fry some nuts in it. I have used almonds and raisins, but cashews and raisins are great too. This step is actually optional, gajar ko haluwa tastes great without nuts too. Take the nuts out and store in a separate bowl.
Take the ground carrots and fry them in the butter. Fry for a few minutes until carrots change color and become slightly brown.
Add some milk and empty the bowl of nuts, The nuts may be sprinkled in the end, but I like it better this way. It's just a matter of taste, really.
Bring the milk to a boil, and let it simmer in low heat until the milk is absorbed. When all the milk is absorbed, add sugar to taste: and yummy gajar ko haluwa is ready. Can be served hot or cold.
