Carrot halwa or Gajar halwa is a very famous and a traditional North Indian dessert, mainly Punjab region. The Gajar ka Halwa was first introduced during the Mughal period and the name originates from an Arabic word “Halwa”, which means “sweet”and it is made from carrot (in Hindi: Gajar) so that it is known as Gajar ka Halwa (meaning pudding of carrot or Halwa of carrot).
The main ingredients used for making this dessert are carrots, milk, sugar, ghee and some nuts. It can be served cold or hot.
Hot carrot halwa with vanilla icecream is certainly an irresistible temptation:)
