About

Gajar ka halwa, also known as gajorer halwa, gajarno halwo, gajar pak, and carrot pudding, is a type of halva, an Indian dessert, made by placing grated carrots in a pot containing a specific amount of water, milk, sugar, and cardamom and then cooking with ghee while stirring regularly. It is often served with a garnish of almonds and pistachios. The nuts and other items used are first sautéed in ghee, a type of clarified butter from the Indian subcontinent. It is generally served hot during the winter.
