Gajjar Ka Halwa:(Marwadi Style)
Gajjar Ka Zarda. Carrot Halwa(version 2). 'Shree Mittai' Style Gajjar Ka Halwa.
Myself and our family friend Manoj Malaani are big fan of 'Shree Mittai' sweets, at Egmore-Chennai. Especially we are crazy for their 'Gajjar ka Halwa' made in such a way, looks so glossy, melt in mouth, ghee fried, saffron infused...they actually slice the carrots' instead of grating!! It was something grand than a home made version!!
This recipe goes to Sanghi's Food Event:
Ingredients:
Caarots 1/2 kilo
Kowa(Milk gova) non-sweetened 2 cups(substitute - Milk powder)
Half n half(tetra pack milk) 2 cups
Whole milk 2 cups
Condensed milk 1/4 cup
Sugar 1 cup
Saffron 2-4 pinch
Ghee / Clarified butter 1 cup.
Method:
Trim the ends of carrot and grate them. Set aside.
Heat a wide, deep vessel. Add sugar + 1/2 cup of water. Bring them to syrupy consistency. (when you drop a syrup in a water filled cup...the syrup should form like a pearl and settle at the bottom of the cup.)
Stir-in grated carrot. Cover and cook. Maybe till it absorbs all the sugar syrup.
Meanwhile wet-grind saffron using mortar and pestle. Add few spoons of milk to grind it. Set aside.
Add whole milk, half and half and condensed milk. Cook wihtout cover. Stir-constantly. Add ghee when ever you feel like. This may really take long time. Once halwa consistency is achieved, remove from heat and serve hot or cold with a scoop of vanila ice cream.

Egmore!! Shree Mithai!!! Brings back very fond memories:) My best friend lives in Chennai(Egmore)and whenever I went to Chennai,she would drag me every evening to eat chaat at Shree Mithai.The dahi chaats are just out of this world.We'd go there for a snack,and end up eating so much that we would be too stuffed for dinner!!BTW,to reduce the guilt,we always made it a point to walk to and fro ;-)
