Gajar ka halwa is a popular Indian dessert, made of fresh carrots.
This is a very easy version of making Gajar ka halwa as I will be using microwave to use this dish.

- cashewnuts (roasted, 1 tbsp)
- Rasins( roasted, 1 tbsp)
Method
- Grate half kg of carrots and keep it aside.
- Add the grated carrot into the microwave safe bowl.
- To it add milk and sugar. Mix it well and place it in the microwave.
- Microwave for 8 minutes on high power. In case you want you can cover the bowl with a cling film to retain moisture.
- After you remove it from the microwave, add ghee or clarified butter into it and mix well.
- After mixing it, place it back in the microwave and cook it on high power for another 10 minutes.
- Once the milk has evaporated and the halwa is dry, add powdered cardamom and mix well so that the aroma of the cardamom powder mixes well in the halwa.
