Gajar ka halwa (Carrot Halwa) is a traditional Sub Continent dessert famous in Both Indian and Pakistan equally. It is made with carrots, milk, butter and sugar. There are many ways to making a Gajar ka Halwa but currently we are learning only one type of recipe. 

Some People fry the carrots first, and then add the milk. We are using different method of cooking the carrots in milk first until the liquid evaporates.

I doubled the following recipe as I was having guests over. With this recipe, you can get about 3 to 4 servings. It’s a very easy and tasty dessert to make and I prefer eating it warm, however, you can serve it at room temperature too. You will need a large saucepan and a wok to prepare the halwa.
