Gajar halwa is one dish that every household in North-India would recall enjoying in winter season. Winter season is the primary season for juicy and delicious carrots (Gajar). If you happen to visit Delhi in November to February time frame, you would find this gajar halwa on every sweet seller's shelf.

Today, we are sharing the recipe for making the milky Gajar halwa.

This is pretty different from the one you eat in a restaurant or a sweet shop. The difference is in the way of cooking Gajar. Normally, the sweet shops boil carrot (gajar) in a cooker or a pan with water. We are using milk instead of water and hence gives the dish a new dimension an entirely new taste.
