Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 15 Mins | Makes: 2 cups

Carrots 4 (small size) Milk 3/4 cup Sugar 4-5 tblsp Cardamom powder | Everest Milk masala 1 tsp Milk powder 3 tblsp (optional) Almonds few (for garnishing) Ghee 1 tsp

Microwave-carrot halwa - 1

Method:

  • Peel the skin of the carrots and if you want you can grate this in a small grater. I just roughly chopped them and pulsed it it in the mixer. I have had gajar halwa in a friend’s place in this style.
  • Add milk and ghee and put it inside the microwave safe bowl. Microwave high for 5 minutes by stirring in between.
  • Add cardamom powder and sugar. I added the Everest Milk masala.
  • Mix well and microwave medium high for 5 minutes stirring in between.
  • The milk will be absorbed by now and the halwa is now ready. If the milk is still not absorbed you can keep in the microwave for 3-4 minutes more.
Gajar-halwa - 2

Notes:

  1. Microwave timings depends on oven to oven.
  2. Always stir in between so as not to get the halwa burnt while cooking.
  3. If adding condensed milk reduce the quantity of milk to 1/2 cup and add the condensed milk while adding the cardamom powder or milk masala.
  4. For this quantity 1/4 cup of condensed milk . No need to add sugar , if needed add 1-2 tbslp.
