Carrot halwa recipe, carrot halwa without khoya

March 10, 2011 by Raks Anand 116 Comments / Jump to Recipe

Carrot halwa-1
Carrot halwa, classic sweet recipe simple without khoya, complex ingredients, just cook the carrots in milk, add sugar and garnish with nuts and ghee.

That’s it, perfect to celebrate a sweet occasion.Well what’s the occasion?  This is my 200th Post!🎉 In spite of blogging for almost 3 and 1/2 years, I just now managed to reach the 200th post😮.Yeah really!!
I have seen many recipes with milk maid and khoya, I had no stock of both, so cooked in milk as I reduced the milk and made this. Milk quantity can be reduced.

Carrot halwa-1


I love carrot halwa, I never know it is made really tasty with the red carrots, here in Singapore, we get these red carrots fresh in Mustafa during winters. I have heard many people saying it turns out best in taste when made with these red carrots known as halwa carrots.

So picked up for the first time and tried. So here is the full video, updated for you all with red carrots. In the video, I have doubled the quantity. Though the video is short, it took a lot of time, since large quantity. But really worth it as I am a great fan of this.

Carrot halwa recipe

Carrot halwa, classic sweet recipe simple without khoya, complex ingredients, just cook the carrots in milk, add sugar and garnish with nuts and ghee.
Course Dessert
Cuisine Indian
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Servings 4
Cup measurements

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Carrot grated
  • 2 ¼ cup Milk
  • ¾ cup Sugar
  • ¼ cup Ghee
  • 1 cardamom powdered
  • 5 Cashews
  • 5 Pistachios
  • Salt - a pinch

Instructions

  • Take a heavy bottomed pan(I used my pot shaped pressure cooker).
  • Add cashews and pistachios fried in ghee and mix well.
  • Fry the grated carrots with a tablespoon of ghee till it turns pale in colour.
  • The volume will shrink and the raw smell of the carrot goes away.(say 2-3 minutes)
  • Add milk, pinch of salt and bring to boil. Cook in medium flame.
  • Make sure to stir every now and then, especially after the milk thickens. Otherwise it may get stuck to bottom of pan.
  • After milk thickens, it will not over flow, so can keep the flame in high, but you have to keep stirring, otherwise it will be stuck to bottom and easily get burnt.
  • Cook till all the milk reduces almost and the carrot gets cooked.
  • When the mixture is almost dry, add the sugar and keep on stirring.(7-10 minutes)
  • When the mixture starts thickening,add ghee little by little.
  • Add powdered cardamom and mix.
  • When the halwa is thick and starts leaving the sides of pan, switch off the flame.

Video

Notes

  • Only the grating part is a tiring job. So you can try using a food processor for this grating job.
  • Ghee quantity can be reduced
  • Nuts can be added without roasting.
  • Beetroot halwa can be done the same way.
  •  I have added a pinch of salt, but you can skip it.
  • When I made in small quantity, it was very easy to make, but when I made in larger quantity as in video, it took lot of time. 
  • You can reduce milk or ghee, no hard and fast rules. 
  • Choose big enough vessel, especially when making in large quantity. Because while getting cooked, it splutters a lot. Use lid to cover and be safe.

Carrot halwa method:

    1. Take a heavy bottomed pan(I used my pot shaped pressure cooker).
    2. Fry the grated carrots with a tablespoon of ghee till it turns pale in colour.
    3. Until volume shrinked and the raw smell of the carrot goes away.(say 2-3 minutes)
      step 1 cook grated carrot
    4. Add milk, pinch of salt and bring to boil.
    5. Cook in medium flame. Make sure to stir every now and then, especially after the milk thickens. Otherwise it may get stuck to bottom of pan.
    6. After milk thickens, it will not overflow, so can keep the flame in high, but you have to keep stirring, otherwise it will be stuck to bottom and easily get burnt.
      step 2 Cook in milk
    7. Cook till all the milk reduces almost and the carrot gets cooked.
      step 3 gajar ka halwa recipe
    8. When the mixture is almost dry, add the sugar and keep on stirring.(7-10 minutes)
      step 4 add sugar
    9. When the mixture starts thickening,add ghee little by little. Add powdered cardamom and mix. When the halwa is thick and starts leaving the sides of pan, switch off the flame. Add cashews and pistachios fried in ghee and mix well.
      step 5 Add ghee

You can serve carrot halwa warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, I have seen in restaurant dessert menus ✌😊

    Congrats Raks, I am yet to reach there. I am very slow in posting.
    Halwa looks very very delicious and yes the processor helps a lot in grating. It just grates in a minute and I use it when making in large quantities. Just peeling the skin is the hard part. One of my friend suggested scrubbing the carrots with a scrubber and grating with the skin. I have not done it but it seemed to be an easy option.

    Hi Raji..
    I made this halwa and it came too gud..My guests also liked it and got some packed to their home as well 🙂
    But one thing i noted was it takes quite a long time to do right despite of the fact that the recipe is simple..i thought the carrot gets cooked in the milk and milk evaporation part would be quickly done..But that part takes almost all the time..So whomever wants to try this, i might suggest, first check whether you have sufficient time and gas..But its worth giving a try..
    Again thankyou so much for the recipe..

    Carrots will be atleast orange in colour if not the red halwa carrots, but if you want more colour, you can add saffron for mild orange colour or if you want more, you may need to use food colour, either orange or red. 🙂

    Hi Raji, lovely recipe. Made it this afternoon along with your vegetable kurma and my very own Paneer Peas Pulav to treat a chinese friend of my husband. The guys just loved it. The friend did not stop appreciating the lunch until he left. The halwa became the highlight. My husband was all proud of me. All thanks to you. 🙂

    Can we use condensed milk in place of sugar? If yes, how much should we use?
