Diwali Recipe- Easy To Make Gajar Ka Halwa In Microwave

Gajar Ka Halwa is a very popular Indian sweet. It is very easy to prepare this halwa in microwave. Traditionally khoya (or mawa) is added while preparing this halwa. But we have not used khoya (or mawa) and added milk powder instead.

Ingredients

2 big carrots grated (or about 2 cups grated carrots)
1.5 teaspoon ghee
¾ cup milk or 150 ml
3-4 tablespoon sugar
¼ cup milk powder
chopped nuts for garnishing

Method

- In a deep microwave safe bowl, combine ghee and grated carrots. Mix well and microwave on HIGH power (900 Watts) for 2 minutes. Stir after 1 minute.

- Take out the bowl and mix. Now add milk, mix and micro on MEDIUM power (600 Watts) for 6 minutes, stirring in-between.

- Now, add milk powder and sugar. You can adjust sugar as per taste. Mix well and micro on MEDIUM power (600 Watts) for about 12 minutes, stirring in-between after every 2-3 minutes.

- Keep checking and cook till carrots are cooked completely and all the milk gets absorbed. Cooking time will vary as per the capacity of the microwave. For the first time, we suggest to keep checking and stirring after 2-3 minutes.

- Take out the bowl and serve this halwa hot or at room temperature. Garnish with chopped nuts.
