About Carrot halwa
Carrot Halwa, also known as Gajar ka Halwa, is a traditional Indian dessert made by simmering grated carrots with milk, sugar, and ghee. Often flavored with cardamom and garnished with nuts like almonds or pistachios, this rich and indulgent treat is a staple during festivals and celebrations. Originating from North Indian cuisine, it highlights the region’s love for dairy and warm spices. While Carrot Halwa offers health benefits from carrots, which are rich in vitamins A and K, and nuts, which provide healthy fats, it is also high in sugar and fat due to the addition of ghee and sweeteners. Moderation is key to enjoying its flavors without overindulging in its calorie content. A lighter version can be made by substituting ingredients like jaggery or reducing ghee amounts to make it a more balanced option.
