Gajar Halwa

Gajar Halwa, also known as "Gajrela," is a popular Indian dessert made from grated carrots, milk, sugar, and ghee. The carrots are slow cooked in milk until they become tender and the milk thickens to a creamy consistency. Sugar is added to sweeten the mixture, and it's often flavored with cardamom. The dish is typically garnished with chopped nuts like almonds and cashews and sometimes raisins. Gajar Halwa is rich, aromatic, and has a sweet, creamy texture, making it a favorite during winter months and a common dessert served during festivals like Diwali and special occasions.
