Gajar Ka Halwa

Gajar Ka Halwa

Gajar ka halwa is the classic Indian winter dessert of grated red carrots slow-cooked in full-fat milk until thick and luscious, then enriched with ghee, khoya and nuts. This version finishes the halwa with aromatic Anveshan bilona ghee and sweetens it with unrefined Anveshan khandsari instead of refined sugar, giving a clean, mineral-rich sweetness and a deeply fragrant, melt-in-the-mouth texture.
