Gajar Halwa is a dessert that I associate with my mother. Hers is the only one I personally love; her Rajasthani touch and labour of love takes it to heavenly plain.
Gajar Halwa is a carrot and milk-based dessert, for best results it’s important to let it take its time to cook to let the flavours infuse and get a deep rich colour. Sweetness and soft texture of carrots with notes of cardamom is Indian dessert in its prime for me.
I love it served hot with a cold Oatly Vanilla whippable custard with an optional addition of tangy raspberry jam (it works – trust me).
