Gajar Ka Halwa With Milkmaid or Condensed Milk

Gajar Ka Halwa with milkmaid (or can be called as sweetened condensed milk) is a delicious carrot halwa made using grated carrots or gajar. Gajar Halwa is a very popular dessert across India.

Some more interesting desserts or Indian sweets recipes to try out:

  • Sheer Khurma Hyderabadi Style
  • Double Ka Meetha
  • fruit custard

The method of making this halwa is the same but different people use different cooking methods such as pressure cooker, microwave or the most common which is the traditional method.

The carrot halwa using condensed milk or milkmaid is made in a traditional method but I have used pressure cooker to soften the carrots.

Inorder to make the halwa it is always better to find good quality carrots which are exclusively available to make gajar halwa and in India the halwa carrots are usually available in winters.

Gajar halwa is almost the same but the sweetness that is found in the halwa can be achieved using khoya/sugar/condensed milk. I have not used any shortcuts to make this dish. I have made it in a traditional slow cooking method but instead of using sugar I have made gajar halwa with milk and milkmaid to make it.

It does take a while to make this yummy dessert and is time consuming but the long cooking process definitely pays off at the end as the outcome is simply superb.

                   The halwa just melts in our mouth as it is made with milkmaid and is purely rich and a great dessert. The gajar ka halwa with milkmaid is popular across India, North India, South India etc...

    The carrot halwa with condensed milk can also be made during occasions or festivals such as diwali...

         Here I have used only milkmaid and the halwa came out absolutely perfect and irresistible. The color of the halwa varies from one person to the other as the color of the carrots preferred to make the recipe changes the color of the final dish.
