Gajar ka Halwa

Veg

Carrot pudding — red Delhi carrots (gajrela carrots, sweeter and deeper in colour than orange varieties) grated and slow-cooked in full-fat milk until the milk reduces completely and the carrot becomes soft and fragrant, then finished with sugar, ghee, cardamom, and a generous garnish of khoya, cashews, and raisins. A winter preparation made only from December to February when the red Delhi carrots are in season. The most beloved North Indian dessert, eaten warm.
