Microwave Gajar (Carrot) Ka Halwa
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 6 tablespoons powdered milk
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 5 -6 cashews
- 5 -6 almonds
- 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
- Note: My Microwave sets to 900W at P100 (100% power), so the cooking duration may vary with yours. Please use the recipe as a guideline and work out the cooking time as per your MW.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the ghee at P100 for 45 seconds.
- Add the grated carrots, stir and mix and microwave it again at P100 for 5-6 minutes.
- Add milk, sugar and milk powder to it. Stir and microwave it on P100 for 12 minutes. Stir the mixture every 2-3 minutes. Keep eye on it.
- Add dryfruits in halwa, cover it with lid having some hole (I used the same container that I got with my microwave). Microwave on P60 for another 12 minutes till the carrot is completely cooked and the milk has been absorbed by the carrot.
- Sprinkle the cardamom powder.Stir lightly and microwave at P100 for 2 minutes, this time without the cling film. Allow to stand for 5 minutes.
- Serve hot.
- Tips:
- You can use khoya instead of milk powder.
- If you want low fat, use skim-milk powder and low fat milk.
- For diabetic people, use low-fat products, with sugar-free powder.
- Tastes best with the serving of vanilla ice-cream.
