Gajar halwa or carrot pudding with paneer or cottage cheese.
In winter we make gajar halwa or carrot pudding frequently. For gajar halwa we simmer grated carrot with milk till milk thickened and dried up. At the end ghee, dry fruits, khoya will be added with sugar.
But now here is a gajar halwa with little change. I have added paneer or cottage cheese in the halwa with khoya or dried milk. And taste is much better. Try it for a change. I am sure you will love the taste.
I have already shared Sugar free gajar halwa. Get the recipe below 👇
No its not sugar free. Dry fruits, sugar, cardamom, khoya or dried milk and paneer made this halwa mouthwatering.
Recipe
Carrot – 500 gram
Milk – 5 cup
Sugar – 1/2 cup
Khoya/mawa or dried milk – 1/2 cup, grated or crumbled
Paneer or cottage cheese – 1/2 cup, crumbled
Cardamom powder – 1/2 teaspoon
Cashew nuts – 2 tablespoon, sliced
Raisins – 2 tablespoon
Almond – 2 tablespoon, sliced
Ghee or clarified butter – 2 – 3 tablespoon
Soaked and peeled almond and pistachio to garnish
Method
1. Peel and rinse the carrot. Cut the both ends.
2. Grate in a food processor or manual grater.
3. Heat milk in a heavy bottom pan or nonstick pan or wok.
4. When milk starts to boil add the grated carrot. Stir well.
5. Cook on simmer and stir constantly to avoid burning at the bottom.
6. When the milk about to dried up add sugar.
Mix and cook on simmer till the milk evaporated.
7. Now add ghee/clarified butter, khoya or dried milk/milk solid, paneer or cottage cheese, cardamom powder, raisins, sliced almond and sliced cashew nuts. I have used homemade khoya and paneer. Get the recipe here.
8. Mix and cook till the mixture dried up completely. Stir constantly.
9. Your halwa is ready. Garnish with pistachio and peeled almond. You can also garnish with fried cashew nuts and raisins.
10. Serve warm or in room temperature. Or you can serve it with vanilla ice cream.
You can keep it in refrigerator for 7 – 8 days. Microwave before serving.
Happy cooking.
Notes
1. You can add 1 – 2 tablespoon more ghee if you want.
2. Add any dry fruits of your choice.
