Full written recipe - Gajar Ka Halwa (Pressure Cooker without grating)
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 35-40 minutes
Serves: 5-6 people
Ingredients:
RED CARROT | लाल गाजर 1/2 KG
GHEE | घी 1 TBSP
MILK | दूध 500 ML (FULL FAT)
SUGAR | शक्कर 1/2 CUP / 100 GRAMS
GREEN CARDAMOM POWDER | इलायची पाउडर A PINCH
GHEE | घी 1 TBSP (for frying nuts)
CASHEW | काजू 2 TBSP (ROUGHLY CHOPPED)
ALMOND | बादाम 2 TBSP (ROUGHLY CHOPPED)
RAISINS | किशमिश 1 TBSP
Method:
Wash the carrots & then trim their tops & bottoms, further peel the carrots & cut them roughly, then using an electric chopper chop them up coarsely. This step will save a lot of time.
Set a pressure cooker over high heat & add the ghee, let it get slightly hot & then add all the chopped carrot, stir well & cook for 3-4 minutes until the moisture from the carrot gets evaporated.
Further add the milk, stir once then pressure cook over medium flame only for 1 whistle then switch off the flame & let the cooker depressurize naturally.
Next, check the whistle & open the lid, stir well & then switch on the flame to medium high & cook until the milk reduces, this process will take 10-12 minutes, make sure you keep stirring the halwa.
Once almost all the milk has reduced, add the sugar & cardamom powder, stir well & cook it again for 4-5 minutes, the sugar will release its moisture & the halwa will get slightly runny again so cook until it thickens up again.
Do not overcook the halwa or it will become very tight, almost into barfi texture, only until the water from sugar evaporates & the halwa looks a bit shiny then switch off the flame.
Heat a pan, add the ghee into it & let it get slightly hot, then add the almonds & cashews & fry them until they turn light golden brown, keep stirring them.
Once the nuts are almost about to turn light golden brown add the raisins & stir briefly.
Pour the ghee & nuts mixture over the halwa & stir well.
Your gajar ka halwa is ready, let it rest for a couple of minutes, it will soak up all the ghee, heat it up before serving or have as it is, I personally like to have hot halwa with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
