TIPS FOR MAKING BEST CARROT HALWA

1. To make gajar halwa, it is important to buy tender and juicy carrots so that they are easy to grate. Some arm work is needed to make this halwa as you have to first grate the carrots and then slow cook them in stovetop and keep on stirring them on regular intervals.
2. You can grate the carrots manually or in a food processor. obviously, the food processor makes grating the carrots easier.
3. I suggest using a heavy iron kadai to make the halwa. The carrot halwa is simmered and simmered and stirred often. So that it should not get burnt, a really good kadai makes the job easier. You can also use a non-stick kadai or a thick bottomed pan.
