I’m going to share a very tempting and aromatic winter special dessert, that is loved by all and specially made in every winter’s weddings in North India. Normally Gajar Halwa Takes approximately 2 Hours of cooking time. But in this video I’m making Instant Gajar Halwa using Khoya/Mawa which will cut time to only 45 mins.
I love making it in winters because of the quality of carrots that I get in North India during winter season is really good. Also it has all the healthy ingredients like carrots, khoya (made of milk ), ghee that makes it a very healthy dessert too.
