Make Carrot Halwa Without Milk

Carrot Halwa/Halva is one of the most famous and delicious Indian sweet dishes!

Ingredients

  • Carrots
  • Sugar
  • Ghee
  • Garnish (Raisins, Almonds, Cashew nuts)

Steps

  1. Choose some really juicy carrots.
  2. Peel the carrots and wash them.
  3. Now grate the carrots using a fine grater.
  4. Put all the grated carrots into one vessel.
  5. Heat the vessel on your stove in simmer-mode without adding any water or milk. Since the carrots are rich in water-content, they won't get burned. Keep the vessel closed with a lid.
  6. After about 90% of the water has evaporated, add required(depending on how sweet you want it to be) amount of sugar to it.
  7. Keep stirring the mixture till it comes together. At this stage, add ghee to it and continue stirring.
  8. Close the lid for about 5-10 minutes and let the rest of the water evaporate. Switch-off your stove now.
  9. Your carrot halwa is ready to be served. You can wait for it to cool down to room temperature or refrigerate and serve it cold. It tastes delicious either way.
  10. You can add some cashew nuts, raisins, almonds, etc., to add some flavour and decorate the dish.

  • You can add the nuts and raisins after grating and cook them with the carrots, if you prefer.
