GAJAR KA HALWA:

Gajar ka halwa may be a very authentic, famous, delicious Indian sweet. It are often made in any occasion and served warm or at temperature . I have prepared Gajar ka halwa, without using Mewa or khoya. Khoya or Mewa is used to enhance richness and flavour in sweets. When I was making gajar ka halwa, I prepared beetroot halwa, can view within the picture. Preparation method is that the same but taste and colour differs. Can use any nuts like almonds or pistachios as per your taste. Gajar ka halwa is cooked in milk, by thickening it on lower flame or medium flame, by stirring it continuously, in order that it doesn't stick with rock bottom . So it's cooked at low flame, but in between can cook at medium flame.
