This nutty Gajar Ka Halwa with my special trick is definately a mouth watering version of the Gajar Halwa you have ever tried.
Carrot Halwa or Gajar ka Halwa is prepared almost in all parts of India. However Gajar ka Halwa is very famous in Uttar Pradesh. When we talk about Uttar Pradesh the first thing in our mind comes is Paneer curries and various kind of milk products. So here I share a recipe of my version of Gajar Ka Halwa which has reach flavour of Carrot, Milk, Cream, mawa and dry fruits. Belive me, this is deadly combo and people will crave for it again and again. Try it to believe it!!!

1.5 cup sugar (चीनी)
2 tbsp clarified butter (घी)
1 cup Khoya (खोया)

1. Wash, peel and grate the carrots.
2. In a clean heavy bottomed kadai, add the carrots and milk and cook covered for 10 minutes and then uncovered for 5 minutes until the milk is reduced completely.
3. Add sugar and fry again until sugar is dissolved.
