Gajar Ka Halwa Recipe – Indian Carrot Pudding

Gajar Ka Halwa is a Quick & Easy Indian Carrot Pudding, a traditional North Indian sweet dish which can be enjoyed either hot or cold. Made with simple ingredients, especially the red variety of carrots popular in North India, this Carrot Pudding is typically enjoyed during winters.

However, it can be made with regular carrots too, available year round. Traditionally, this halwa is made using khoya (condensed milk) and ghee, with lots of dry fruits, making this a rich dessert. This recipe calls for reduced fat milk, which gives it a lighter feel, keeping its classic comforting texture and consistency.

At home we love to pour over some chilled Kesar Rabdi over a hot bowl of this Halwa. The best thing about this sweet is that it can be made and refrigerated in an airtight container, and it keeps for almost 10 days. In my family, it’s made in huge quantities and enjoyed everyday after meals. This makes the 45-60 minute cooking time totally worth it! You can serve the Gajar Ka Halwa as it is or along with vanilla ice cream for a festival like Diwali, or as a Party Dessert.

Serve Gajar Ka Halwa Recipe as a dessert after your delicious festive meal of Jodhpuri Aloo Ki Sabzi, Ajwain Puri and Boondi Raita.
