Gajar Halwa | Carrot Halwa | Easy Halwa Recipes

Carrot Halwa or Gajar Ka Halwa is something that everyone loves I am sure and it's one of the most popular Indian sweet/dessert for any occasion, celebration. Carrot halwa is best winter dessert specially if you get the North Indian variety of red carrots then it's best to make halwa :) This recipe is my sister recipe where carrot is not grated but made puree.

It's saves lot of time as we don't have to grate carrots but just puree it.  There was a time when my sister would make carrot halwa/gajar halwa for any occasion in this method and it taste delicious.  If you haven't tried this puree version of carrot halwa then you have it good plus if you use the red color then it looks so good too.



I added less ghee since DH doesn't like if you aree little more ghee then the halwa taste even better. Do not add water while you grind carrot if not your cooking time will be more. This winter try this method of making carrot or gajar halwa and relish.
