By submitting this form, you consent to receive emails from Minstry of Curry In India, halwa is often made by cooking grains, lentils, nuts, or vegetables with milk, sugar, and ghee. The mixture is often stirred or cooked until it reaches a thick pudding-like consistency and is flavored with aromatic spices such as cardamom, saffron, and nutmeg. Some of the popular Indian halwa include Sooji Halwa, Doodhi Halwa, Moong Dal Halwa, and Badam Halwa. If you’re looking for something extra special, try my Gajar Halwa Cheesecake Jars for a delightful twist on this classic! If you are short on time or want a dairy-free dessert, check out my Instant Pot Carrot Halwa Recipe. In the variations section, I am sharing some of the other ingredients such as condensed milk, mawa, and milk powder that can be used to help speed up the cooking process if you like.
Storing
Gajar Halwa makes for a perfect make-ahead dessert. It can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to a week or you can also freeze it in smaller portions in airtight containers. To reheat simply thaw overnight in the fridge or at room temperature and then microwave until warm.
