Sugar-Free Gajar Ka Halwa Recipe
Ingredients:
4 cups grated carrots
1 cup milk
1/4 cup ghee (clarified butter)
1/2 cup sugar substitute (stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit)
1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
A handful of chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, and pistachios)
A pinch of saffron strands (optional)
Edible flowers for garnish (optional)
Recipe
- Peel and grate the carrots.
- In a pan, heat ghee and add the grated carrots. Cook on medium heat until the carrots turn soft and release their delightful aroma.
- In a separate pot, warm the milk.
- Add your chosen sugar substitute to the warm milk and stir until it dissolves completely.
- Pour this sugar-free milk mixture into the pan with the carrots.
- Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally.
- Add cardamom powder to enhance the flavour. For an extra touch, you can include a pinch of saffron strands.
- Continue to cook until the carrots absorb the milk and the mixture thickens. This process may take around 20-25 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped nuts, reserving some for garnish.
- Once the halwa reaches the desired consistency, remove it from the heat.
- Garnish with the remaining chopped nuts and, if desired, edible flowers for a visually appealing touch.
- Allow the sugar-free Gajar Ka Halwa to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve this delightful dessert warm and savour the perfect blend of carrot sweetness and nutty richness without compromising your health. This sugar-free version of Gajar Ka Halwa will surely be a hit at any gathering, offering a guilt-free twist on a traditional favourite.
