GAJAR ka HALWA : Microwave Cooking

During winters, this dessert has to be remade prior it is finished and that is none other than Gajar ka Halwa. It is a dessert that is made during winters in most North Indian houses. If you are planning a party it can be prepared in advance. And while serving just microwave it for 1-2 minutes; time may vary depending upon the quantity. Here in this recipe of mine, I use the microwave as cooking medium. It provides smooth cooking of it without any hassles, like in conventional cooking of Gajar Ka halwa you need to stirring Continuously; here you are free as microwave takes care of it.

Recipe

Ingredients:

Carrot: 1 kg
Full cream Milk: 750 ml
Sugar: 1 to 1.5 cup as per your taste
Finely chopped dry fruits : 2 Tbsp
Raisins: 20-25 approx. 2 Tbsp
Desiccated coconut powder: 2 Tsp
Green cardamom powder: ½ tsp

Gajar Ka Halwa

Method: 

Grate the carrots. Mix grated carrots and milk in a big deep bowl ( for 1 kg carrots take 2 litre capacity bowl to avoid overflowing). Microwave it for 20-25 minutes. Mix once after 15 minutes. If the required consistency of halwa is attained then mix sugar otherwise microwave for another 5-7 minutes. After adding sugar microwave it for 7 minutes. ( if you wish you can add Khoya/ mawa approx. 100 gms at this stage along with the sugar and then microwave) One more thing if you want to add more richness to your halwa add 2 Tbsp Ghee and microwave it for another 5-7 minutes. Now add finely chopped dry fruits and microwave it for two minutes. Add green cardamom powder. Garnish it with desiccated coconut powder. Serve hot.

Notes: 

**I don’t add Khoya and ghee into it. If you want to make it more richer then only add. Otherwise while cooking with milk after sometimes it gives the danedaar (granulated) consistency of khoya. Dry fruits, desiccated coconut powder and raisins enhance the taste of halwa. Dry fruits and desiccated coconut powder, raisins are also optional.

**Preparation time: 15-20 minutes

    Cooking time: around 35-40 minutes

**Serving sufficient for 12-14 persons.
