Gajar Ka Halwa or Carrot Halwa or Indian Carrot pudding is a very popular dessert made from carrots, milk and sugar. Originating in North and Central India, TV and films have given it cult status. Winter time brings fresh and juicy red carrots and is a perfect time for this delectable sweet dish.

Every family has their own twist. The carrot is actually sweet enough naturally, so you can avoid adding too much sugar. A touch of honey or sweetener such as Agave nectar, Splenda etc. will also do the job. It is easy to veganize this by using nut milks or nut pastes to add richness to the dish. My recipe is an old family one that has been passed down for generations. There is no calorie cutting here and limiting portions is the preferred way to go.
