World’s best Gajar ka Halwa.

[pushpinder]

Doc Sunil,
Wonderful recipe...
The trick to a good 'Gajar ka Halwa' is in the stirring...it has to be done almost continuously to prevent the milk from getting burnt.
And the desi ghee gives it that special boost!!

Sir, Thanks a lot for appreciation.
Needs here a few inputs
1. Should we add a previously boiled milk to carrots or can we add the raw (unboiled) milk to it.
2. which one is better, to add all the milk in one go, or to keep on adding small small quantity of milk at certain intervals.
3. I have seen many, read almost everyone known, to add the ghee only when all the milk dries up. I did an experiment and started cooking carrots with ghee for about 10 mins and then added milk to it. Whats the difference between two methods.

Thanks

GLR, it was you who inspired me for making it.
Trust me it is quite simple, just manage all the ingredients in right ratio.
For soaking cashews, almonds and raisins in milk, it was the idea from my best half.

Thanks Doc.
Going by color, my favorite would be blue.
But since this is food thread, my favorite food color is green, green vegetables

I think previously boiled milk is better!

Better to add the milk in one go!



3. I have seen many, read almost everyone known, to add the ghee only when all the milk dries up. I did an experiment and started cooking carrots with ghee for about 10 mins and then added milk to it. Whats the difference between two methods.

Ghee after the milk dries up is better!

My answers in bold....or rather, my better half's answers in bold.
She normally looks after all these nitty gritty issues....my job it is to look after global issues like telling her that the halwa must be TASTY!!
