Full written recipe for Gajar ka halwa / Gajrela
Prep time: 10-15 minutes
Cooking time: 1.5 hrs
Serves: 6-8 people
Ingredients:
RED CARROT | लाल गाजर 1/2 KG
MILK | दूध 1.5 LITRE (FULL FAT)
SUGAR | शक्कर 150 GRAMS
GREEN CARDAMOM POWDER | हरी इलायची का पाउडर 1/4 TSP
GHEE | घी 1 TBSP
ALMOND | बादाम 2 TBSP (SLIVERED)
CAHSEW | काजू 2 TBSP (CHOPPED)
RAISIN | किशमिश 1 TBSP
Method:
Wash the carrots & then trim their tops & bottoms, further peel the carrots & grate them using a large hole grater then transfer them into a bowl.
Set a heavy bottomed kadhai on the stove & add the milk, further switch on the flame to high & bring the milk to a boil.
Once the milk comes to a boil, add the grated carrots into the milk, stir well & cook the carrots with the milk over high flame initially until the milk comes to a simmer.
Once the milk comes to a simmer set the flame to medium & cook until all the milk reduces, this process will take 45 minutes to an hour, there won’t be a need to stir it continuously initially but once it becomes thick, make sure you stir it at regular intervals so that it doesn’t burn.
Once almost all the milk has evaporated, keep stirring until all the milk reduces.
When all the milk reduces, add the sugar & green cardamom powder, stir well & cook the halwa over medium heat while stirring it continuously until the natural ghee is released from the halwa, this process will take 15-20 minutes.
Switch off the flame once the ghee is released then heat a pan & add the ghee into it, further add the almonds & cashews once the ghee gets hot & fry them until they turn light golden brown.
Further pour the ghee(optional) & nuts over the halwa along with raisins & stir well.
Your gajrela is ready.
