Gajar Ka Halwa / Carrot Halwa

It’s a traditional Punjabi dessert made with carrots and milk. I didn't add any food color. It’s a very simple and easy dessert only thing you need to have shredded carrots.

I have added condensed milk for great taste, you can add khoa also. As per your taste you can reduce the amount of ghee. I just fried carrots using ghee because of my son.

Carrot has rich in vitamin A, this helps to maintain a healthy vision and glowing skin.
