Carrot Halwa Recipe | Gajar ka Halwa – in Pressure Cooker

Carrot Halwa is a traditional Indian dessert made with carrot, milk, sugar, ghee and topped with any nuts of your choice. This halwa is made almost on all occasions and get together.

Carrot halwa is my families favorite dessert. I am sharing here the easy method of making carrot halwa in a pressure cooker. Even a novice can cook this without any hassle. To get the delicious halwa, first, saute the grated carrot in the ghee for 5 mins on low flame. This certainly adds flavor to the halwa.

I did not add any water. I directly added 2 cups full-fat milk. I also used palm sugar. You can use any sugar of your choice. You can even add jaggery in place of sugar. You can use cashews or any other nuts of your choice instead of pistachios. If using cashews, golden fry cashews in the ghee and then garnish. Make sure to cook the entire process on the medium-low flame only. Now let us see how to prepare this recipe.
