gajar ka halwa recipe, carrot halwa recipe

gajar ka halwa recipe made with condensed milk or milkmaid. this is a quick and easy version of carrot halwa recipe made with condensed milk. i am adding this recipe as a few readers did ask me on how to prepare carrot halwa with condensed milk.

winter is the time of juicy delhi carrots in india. so when i get them, i end up making gajar halwa often.

i usually make good quantity of gajar halwa and keep in the fridge. it stays good for a week. i usually make halwa with the traditional method of cooking the grated carrots in milk. this time i made the halwa with condensed milk. this is a quick method than the traditional one and takes less time.

i did use 1.5 kgs carrots and it took about 45 mins to make the halwa. so if you halve or reduce the proportion, it will be much quicker. i used sweetened condensed milk (nestle milkmaid) and did not have to use any sugar.

gajar halwa is one of the most popular halwa variety in india. it is made for any festive occasions. there are many variations to make this halwa. overall on the blog, there are three more variations of making gajar halwa recipe.

1. gajar halwa made with dairy milk – although, this takes more time to prepare as compared to this condensed milk recipe. but i prefer this method more because taste wise it is the best.
2. vegan carrot halwa recipe – made with almond milk.
3. microwave carrot halwa recipe – a quick method to make gajar halwa in microwave.
