Gajar ka halwa is a much loved North Indian dessert that shines during the winter season. It’s a must-have after meals when the cold hits, making it a staple from fancy restaurants to lavish weddings. This delicious dish includes carrots cooked to perfection with milk, mawa, sugar and dry fruits. While many choose to buy ready-made halwa, nothing beats the charm of homemade versions. However, if your attempts have left you feeling like something is missing, don’t worry! We have some simple tips that will elevate your gajar ka halwa game to a whole new level.
Here are 5 easy tips to make the perfect Gajar Ka Halwa:
Choose the right carrots
The secret to delicious gajar ka halwa starts with selecting the right carrots. Go for those vibrant reds; They have the most flavor. Stay away from chunky carrots and opt for the long, thin variety. Freshness is key, so look for carrots with bright green leaves on top!
Grate carrots like a pro
Before grating them, wash the carrots well. Peel them and dry them with a towel. Now, take the coarse side of the grater to get that perfect texture. Avoid using the thin side as it may make your halwa too soft.
Add cream (Malai) for richness
Using whole milk is a game changer for your carrot halwa. Enhances the flavor, making your dessert creamy and rich. For an extra boost, add a bowl of cream before mixing with the milk; It’s a delicious touch that takes your halwa to another level!
Get your sugar right
If you add mawa to your halwa, keep its sugar levels in mind. Both mawa and carrots have a natural sweetness, so be careful with the sugar. Too much will make your halwa too sweet and mask the other flavors.
Don’t skimp on ghee
A generous amount of ghee is essential for a perfect gajar ka halwa. Remember, patience is the key! Cook your halwa slowly until the color changes from bright orange to a rich and attractive shade of orange.
