Gajar Halwa

Gajar Halwa is a popular Indian dessert, especially during the winter months. Gajar Halwa has a rich, sweet, and slightly nutty flavor. It is a popular Indian dessert made from grated carrots, milk, sugar, ghee (clarified butter), and garnished with nuts. Let us see how to make it.

Ingredients:

4 cups grated carrots
3 cups full-fat milk
1/2 cup sugar or as per taste
4 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
Cardamom powder, chopped nuts (cashews, almonds, pistachios) for garnish
Instructions: Heat ghee in a pan, add grated carrots, and sauté for 5-7 minutes.
Add milk and cook on medium heat until the carrots are soft and the milk evaporates.
Add sugar and continue cooking until the mixture thickens.
Add cardamom powder, mix well, and garnish with chopped nuts.
Nutritional Value: Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into Vitamin A. One cup of chopped carrots provides about 400% of the daily recommended intake of Vitamin A. They also contain antioxidants, fiber, and minerals.

Health Benefits: Vitamin A from carrots supports good vision, boosts the immune system, and promotes healthy skin.
