Gajar Halwa has never been so Glamrs!
This gorgeous layered dessert jar is the perfect gift for a special occasion or celebration.
You want to start by peeling and grating your carrots.
The red, longer carrots are native to India and have a sweeter taste than the orange ones.
These are available mainly in the winter months.
You can grate these in a wider toothed grater if you like more of a bite.
This finer grating will give you a smoother halwa.
Now, to make your halwa you first cook the grated carrot in a some ghee.
The ghee helps to flavour them and speeds up the roasting.
You want to cook these for about 10 to 15 minutes until their colour changes and they
lose their raw edge.
Once they're cooked add in twice the quantity of milk as carrots.
You want to bring this to a steady simmer then turn the heat down and let it reduce.
There are many recipes for gajar halwa, some use mawa or condensed milk as well.
Evaporating all this milk takes a fair amount of time and you must stir every few minutes
to prevent the bottom sticking or burning.
Keep stirring and cooking until most of the milk has evaporated.
Now add in your sugar and let it dissolve into the mixture.
Keep stirring continuously to prevent the milk from sputtering.
At this point, add your flavourings of cardamom powder, which gives a lovely aroma.
Reducing the milk like this gives you a very creamy texture and allows the grated carrots to break down completely.
Add some nutmeg powder for depth.
Taste it just to make sure you've added enough and adjust accordingly.
When the liquid is evaporated and the sugar dissolved take it off the heat and let it cool
Now for the white layer we'll use some milk solids to make a sweetened milky mawa.
On a very low flame start adding your crumbled mawa.
This can burn very easily so keep stirring continuously and on low heat.
When it has liquefied a bit you can add in your sugar.
The sugar will make the mixture more fluid again as it melts.
If you didn't know, mawa, also known as khoya are simply milk solids, which are obtained
by evaporating milk.
It can be made at home but the process is time consuming so we suggest you purchase
mawa at your local dairy.
Next we'll add a pinch of cardamom
Add some saffron strands to warm milk.
Add this mixture to the mawa for a little colour and flavour.
Let it all come together and when the mawa starts pulling away from the pan and you know
you're ready.
The texture will become slightly crumbly and you're all set.
Remove it to a bowl and let it cool down.
Now to intersperse our layers with a bit of a crunch we'll roast some nuts in ghee.
Add some chopped up almonds and raisins for this.
Naturally, you should use whatever dry fruits or nuts you or the person you're gifting
this to enjoys eating.
When the almonds have gained some colour and the grapes have become plump you're all set.
Keep these aside and you can start with your layers.
To help absorb any moisture and add body we also use some crumbled sponge cake.
Get a nice glass jar and start layering.
Start with the sponge cake and spread it evenly.
Top that with a good helping of gajar halwa.
Spread it carefully to not dirty the sides of the jar too much.
Then add in a layer of mawa.
Top that with your crunchy nuts, spread them to the sides of your jar as well.
Now just repeat the layering until you fill the jar.
And just like that your gorgeous Glamrs Gajar Halwa jar is ready.
Something special for someone special.
Thank you for watching!
