Ingredients Used

I used both condensed milk and khoya to cook gajar Halwa to make it moist and well cooked. I know some of you might be worried about bhuna taste of traditional gajar Ka Halwa that comes with traditional cooking.

But, trust me this microwave recipe of Halwa comes quite close if not same. Looking at the ease of microwave cooking and that you can make it super quick and in non-messy way this one is my preferred choice of cooking.

Since red carrots are not in season right now, I used orange ones. If you are making it in winters which is red carrot season in India you can use those as well. The exact amount of ingredients is given below in the recipe.

How To Serve Gajar Halwa

Also, I served it in two different ways. One method of serving is delicious steaming hot bowl of gajar Ka Halwa that we eat during winters.

The other way I served this is as layered dessert for the festive occasion. Layers of gajar Ka Halwa alternating with whipped saffron cream looks really good.

Taste wise also saffron cream and microwave gajar Ka Halwa creates an interesting contrast in terms of flavours and taste.

Since this is Diwali special recipe I used small champagne flute glasses to serve this as there is lot of other snacks/ food that are served.

So if you are serving it as layered dessert the real servings would be around 16 and not 8 regular servings as written in the detailed recipe of microwave gajar Ka Halwa written below.
