About Gajar ka Halwa
Gajar ka halwa is grated carrot cooked down in milk, then sugar, ghee and khoya, topped with nuts. The carrot gives it fibre and bulk, so it is lighter than suji halwa — about 300 kcal for a winter serving.
Tip: Versions made with milk reduced over a long time and little khoya are noticeably lighter than the khoya-heavy sweet-shop version.
