1. Pick the Right Carrots

The magic begins with your carrots. Go for those bright red desi ones-they're sweeter, juicier, and full of flavour.

2. Grating Is Key

When grating, always use the thick side of your grater. The thin side might seem tempting, but it'll turn your halwa into a mushy mess.

3. Add a Creamy Twist

Always go for full-cream milk when making gajar ka halwa. Add a dollop of malai (cream) for that extra richness. Trust us, it makes a world of difference.

4. Balance the Sugar

If you're adding mawa, keep the sugar in check. Both carrots and mawa have natural sweetness, so you don't need to go overboard with it.

5. Ghee Is Non-Negotiable

Don't skimp on the ghee-it's what gives the halwa its signature shine. Slow-cook it patiently until the colour deepens from orange to a rich red.
