Gajar Ka Halwa Recipe

Gajar Ka Halwa – Rich Indian dessert made with carrots, milk , sugar, aromatic cardamom powder and loaded with dry fruits.

I have not added khoya to this recipe. Instead I have allowed milk to boil along with carrots itself and convert into milk solids. I have used toned milk but you can use full fat milk as well. I have used an assortment of soaked almonds, raisins and pistachio. You can choose any combination of dry fruits.
