Gajar ka halwa

Gajar ka halwa is a sweet pudding made with grated carrots, milk, sugar, nuts, clarified butter known as ghee, and dried milk known as khoya. The dessert originated in Northern India and Pakistan, but today it's consumed throughout India as an everyday treat or a traditional sweet during numerous Indian festivals.

This dessert can be modified by adding either seasonal or regional ingredients, and it can be consumed warm or chilled. The best-known variations of gajar ka halwa include the sugar-free version of gajar ka halwa made with papaya, red velvet gajar ka halwa made with cream milk, saffron, and rose water, a version made with ricotta and purple carrots, and beetroot gajar ka halwa.
