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.

झ्याउँकिरी र जुनकिरी Darlings,
ReplyDeleteI love ur recipes. I like the way it directly comes from home and hearth to heart :)the secret of crunchiest Pakouda was real tricky:). And I loved every bit of other recipes.And regarding this one, I once tried mixing Khuwa in it gave fantastic flavor. BTW did you ground the carrots in the blender? I am surprised. Never thought of it. Sangharsha loves this dish n whenever I have to make one, I spread a kg of carrot to helping Didi to shred ( m too lazy for that) n never thought it be just grounded in blender...do we require a special one for carrot or any normal kitchen mixture blender would do? hope you will not mind telling me. And why don't you post up some summer special smoothies...like chilled Mango Jellies and all...
hi deary, thanks for liking our site :) this was exactly wat we hoped, that ppl would try our recipes, and give us tips to improve them, khuwa sounds great, i will definitely try it next time. ani about the grinder, i m not very sure. to be frank, i never tried it when i was in nepal. i m guessing it depends on the grinder. i suggest u try with small pieces first and see if it works, i cut the carrots into chunky circles before shredding.... good luck. will definitely think of summer drinks :)
ReplyDeleteHey
ReplyDeletefew days ago someone in extended family expired and we had to skip dinner. N I thought instead of Roti n Chiya, why not have a bowl of Gajarko Halwa. Then I tried to blend it in blender.Interestingly it worked but had to a bit of water.Later on what I found out was,blending is fine if you are busy but if you have a bit of time ( or a hand to help) it is better shredded, which actually gives wholesome flavor and it is more nutritious.No need to guild the liies,yet I suggest you guys to add sth about nutrition in your recipies, it does not have to be perfect 'nutritional fact' but hunchha ni, from your personal experience, sth like, this aids in digestion, that is good for particular season or particular situation like constipation...
Thanks
