CARROT HALWA
by:
Staying in coastal, I didnt get proper Gajar to make Gajar ka halwa. So this Diwali Ive planned to prepare Carrot halwa instead. When we were staying in Delhi, there was a Sudden surprise from my uncle and I didnt know what to prepare . Suddenly I remembered lots of Gajar in refrigerator and thought I can prepare it in cooker in a jiffy. And yes, I did it and surprised them. I got this idea of making it in a cooker from prestige cooker advertisement :-D. Come on .. It wont take more than 20-25 min. Happy cooking!!
