Carrot halwa – using jaggery and little ghee
ಕ್ಯಾರಟ್ ಹಲ್ವಾ …ಬೆಲ್ಲ ದೊಟ್ಟಿಗೆ
Carrot/gajar halwa……with the minimum usage of ghee in it and also with the goodness of jaggery & almonds. It hardly takes any time to prepare this delicious sweet, which is also a winter special here in north India.
We get plenty of red carrots/winter carrots now in Gurgaon. We can pair this sweet along with many other savory dishes like Upma(any kind), dosa/dosay, Poori & sagu, spicy rice preparations, and also with Idly. Yes…. yesterday I paired this halwa with Banana-coconut idly, which is again my one more innovation
However, here you can also check the recipes like – carrot Mysore Pak , egg free winter carrot orange loaf cake , carrot stuffed spicy paratha , carrot Phulka , beetroot carrot soup , dates carrot soup , carrot soup without onion & garlic , carrot yellu ragi rotti , carrot lentil Payasa , carrot instant matwadi Palya , carrot Ottu shavige/string hoppers , spicy carrot rice , carrot Poori , red carrot sajjige/sheera , carrot custard Pudding , carrot halwa using Jaggery , Paneer beet carrot palya , carrot saaru/rasam , carrot Kesari , carrot Juice
The jaggery which I bought this time is very light in color, it is not that usual brown. So I think that also made difference in the final color of halwa. If I had used dark colored jaggery, then the halwa must have looked different, color wise. But believe me no one could make out that I had used jaggery in place of sugar
