Manjula aunty, i luved ur receipe, i juz have one question. When u boil the milk in the microwave oven for 5 minutes also, it starts coming up. i mean it comes up before it completes a minute. So how do i boil it for 20 minz every 5 mins?..

[vinikutty14321]

[TheDarkqueen86]

Thank you Manjula Aunty and mashallah it was delicious

[salufathima]

@salufathima

Ghee will be same as using the unsalted butter.

[ajaybisht22]

Thank you Manjula Aunty...Its so wonderful to learn cooking from you..Its just so easy way you teach to cook...

[WeissTreufel]

This has been a favorite dessert of mine for some time. I cant wait to try it.

[uegrad]

Thank You Manjuula. This video is very helpful. Blessings. Carol

[Manjulaskitchen]

@shornomoyi

Ghee will be fine.

[openhand5]

Hay Manjula, how to boil the milk for 20 minutes? it comes up as soon as it boiles.

[MFAQ1996]

thanks sooo much manjula jiii . . .. i tried to make besan ke laddoo yesterday and they came out really good plz keep on making more recipes and could u show us how to make chicken biryani ?

[alionline83]

Manjula aunty rocks! I am from Pakistan and live in Czech Republic. Living away from family for the first time is a challenging task specially when it comes to cooking. I tried Bengan recipe first, came out good. Now I am planning to cook this one. I am very optimistic because i tried it at friend's house few weeks ago and it was almost a disaster. Now I know we were not supposed to add milk in the beginning. Thanks alot.

[natrarachit]

I have never made Gajar ka Halwa with ghee but it came out well.!!

[priyankamishra797]

i like ur recipies pls try to make its more easier for a begginers thanks

Wish me luck Aunty,... You are an awesome cook!

[Zainab1160]

[nmichalska]

It came out delicious!!! Thank you Manuja!!! :) I'm not Indian, but still manage to make it :))

[risk3000]

First of all thanks for such great recipes.

Aunty i have a party coming up on saturday..Is it ok if i cook this dish on friday itself , keep in refrigerated and then on saturday warm it up in oven before serving?? My doubts are because of milk that is used ..will it ruin the dessert if used this way ?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@risk3000

That's what I will do for party, you can refrgerate the halwa for about 10 days.

[gasmin]

Am somalian and i tried this halwa it was easy and delicious my husband loved it thanks so much.

[sonnze]

Thank you for this video! I've tried it and it worked out well. I made a little variation: Instead of cashews I used sliced almonds and I added some dried dates before the sugar. It became pretty sweet, so beware how much sugar you add! Don't push it too far. ;-) Another thing: I used almost 1/3 less milk than carrots and it took a while to get out the liquid. Maybe I've done it wrong, but next time I'll use less milk. For all those who are in doubt: it works as well! ;-) Tastes great! Thx!

[85KRUTHIKA]

hi aunty can we prepare beetroot halwa in this way?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@85KRUTHIKA

I have never made beetroot halwa but try and let us know how it was

[MegaDawarkhan]

my wife like your recipes and she make carrot halwa very delicious thanks for your this gajar ka halwa recipe.

[ajoshi06]

[krishan54870]

water in my mouth ...its my favourite dish...missing it badly :)

[skynrdbird75]

awesome Manjula aunty.. I like the idea of m'wing the milk instead of stirring it for ever :) wil def. try to make my gajar halwa like this.. looks delicious.. thanks:)

[Stereoinstaller1]

Namaste!

Manjula, I am going to learn Indian cooking thanks to you. Your videos inspire me because I LOVE Indian food. There is a sweet dish I really love made from Carrots (I think) and is more like a cake than this pudding. Do you know what I am talking about? I asked the woman who ran the restaraunt, but she had far more trouble with English...and I speak no Hindi at all!

Thank you for your work, sharing the foods you love.

[TheBgcheez]

Excellent recipe! Every night when I came back to the hotel after work in India I had this dish!

[devinder55555]

aunty g after cooking this lovely food why dont you taste the food or get some one to taste it before ending the video

[dipaliassimran]

amazing dish,i made it for the first time in my life using your receipe,it comes incredible.my husband likes it so much.just few and handy ingredients makes it so easy. thank you so much.

[healthyvegan]

what a nice simple recipe! thanks for sharing, I may try this, although I'm vegan so I'll replace the butter with coconut or olive oil. I read once in ayurvedic medicine that coconut oil is not good for eating - have you heard this, and do you have any thoughts on it?

I posted a video of a simple healthy and vegan dish I make with carrots and cannellini beans with a cider glaze if you want to try a western-style dish some time!

thanks for all your recipes, they are wonderful

[VegetarianDatabase]

@healthyvegan i am also vegan - i would recommend to use a margarine (earth balance if you are in the usa, vitalite if in the uk). this is because the emulsifiers present in the margarine will keep the halva together. i've used regular bottled oils in making halvas before and it is no good, the oil separates from the dish almost immediately. suji (semolina halva) is also good and easy to make and doesn't even require milk!

[sangeetaloverohan]

antie , I love this video.. Autie you have taught me how to prepare many indian dishes for my family, becuase I grew up in the west, thank you..... muaaahhhh kisses <3

[Manjulaskitchen]

@msuuups21

If like almonds then why not.

[nitinaggarwalin]

ban gaya tasty halwa..... thanks for your help....

[saiqakhan121]

gajar halwa should be dry not wet and gloopy

[deepstaykool]

thanks for uploading video

but it would be better if we are using desi ghee

coz butter does not taste that much good

[ohheheinbon]

Hi Manjula, thank you so much for putting this recipe online. I'd love to try it since you make it look so easy, but I'm not sure I understand the part with the milk in the microwave. Wouldn't the milk boil and spill over if you heat it for that long? Is there another way to achieve the same result?

[dc003864]

Auntee Jee you are soooooooooooooo sweet just like your Halwa :-) The microwave tip for the milk is a very good way to have the best texture for the halwa. Pay Lagoo Auntee keep up the good work !

[harshasgs]

Dear Aunty,i tried out this recipe for the first with the help of your video as this is my husband's fav,THANK U SOOOOOOOOOOOO VERY MUCH for making this recipe so simple,it came out perfectly and MY HUSBAND LOVED IT (he also took it to his office n his friends loved it as well) I received alot of compliments from his friends also. Will certainly have a look at ur other recipes as well. THANKS ALOT ONCE AGAIN...God bless...Pls keep up the good work....

[KoolKandy101]

What the powder you use? My mom and me couldn't figure it out..

Also thanks for the recipe. (:

[RliaBandung22]

@KoolKandy101

it's green cardamom powder/elaichi

u can find it in indian grocery store

[KoolKandy101]

Whats the powder that you use? My mom and me couldn't figure out what you were saying, also thanks for the recipe its sounds amazing. My mom misses home so she is happy to try it, with me. So thanks (:

[dcravey1]

i wonder what this would be like with Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk?

and Earth Balance dairy free butter? Dairy free Carrot Halwa! =o)

With VANILLA!...add extra vanilla too, if you really like it? I think I will try that!

[shima2145]

You forgot to list the cardom powder on your list of ingredients. Overall this receipe was so easy...Thanks again :)

[mamahut5]

Manjula, My neighbor who is Indian made this for me and I loved it....What type grater do you use for the carrots? Does it matter how big the shred is? Also, If I want to double the recipe, could I just use a larger pan?

[mamahut5]

Hi Manjula...I love following your videos and recipes. When you grate the carrot, does the size of the grate matter? Also, if I want to double the recipe, do I just use a larger pan?

[shima2145]

This looks harder than it really is, thanks to your times est. it really helps new cooks like me. Thanks again for your step by step tips.

[zairt]

thanks a lot ......nothing like gajar ka halwa...i prefer halwa to gajrelkah..now i can make this halwa..thanks

[sunjiv444]

Hello Manjula Aunty,

Thank you so much for all these great recipes, you are very sweet and remind me of my Mom. She cooks just like you.

Namaste

[ashwinyt]

Manjulaji,

Thank you very much for telling simple way to make gajar ka halwa.

Ashwin.

[sarangramakrishnan]

why add sugar separately? why can we not mix sugar in the milk and this milk to the carrots?.. wont the sugar be unevenly spread??

[JDX4Lyfe]

that's actually a great idea. I think i'll try that next time!

[vpavithra]

It is cardamom powder AKA elaichi powder.

[roygbiv8clubs]

A pinch of Cardomom powder.

[hasmma]

i think the powder is saffron, well i put it when i cook

[vivekhoneygourav]

Miss manjula aunt u r so fast n easly makein a gajer ka halwa...thanx to teach us.

[sukhWinn]

Manjula,

Yours is one of my favorite YouTube channels. Thank you so much for your lovely, straightforward videos! As a Westerner, carrots for dessert seems odd to me, but your recipe sounds intriguing, and I think I will try it! Thank you!

[panthy22]

I tried this dish in a pakstani restaurant and it tasted great, but it was very dry not like this, can I make it very dry ? or does this way taste better

Thanks for uploading this video

[taurus5679]

Hi Manjulaji - Thank you so much for posting such a delicious recipe of Carrot halwa.....I made it as a prasad for Saibaba and it came out so deliciously and the credit goes to u..this is the first time I am making it...I never really tried earlier on because I always wanted it to come out the way it did when I followed ur recipe...Keep up the good work!!

[MouseSB]

This is WONDERFUL!! I have a (male) friend in Pakistan trying to tell me (across the world in the US) how to make this....and he was confusing me. This makes it so clear! I will be making this tomorrow! YAY! Thank you so much for making this video!

aunty ji i tried your recipe it is so so simple and sooooo delicious, i love your recipies, i also recommended your recipe to my sister in england who also like me loves halwa.thankyou, and keep the recipies coming

[catsmew]

cardamon powder  = elachi

[blaiseab0324]

Good day Manjula ji!

Your recioies are so great and easy to prepare...i cant find ghee here in the philippines...can you suggest the best alternative?thanks

[harpreet8181]

manjula ji where u lieve in US cozz i love to b your neighbour... lol

[provo10]

Thanx for sharing the recipe.I am an Indian student studyin in london.. I always refer to ur recipies whenver I miss home food!

Thanx a lot !

God bless u !

[deadbeatdad]

Manjula, I tried the recipe as you say but the carrots turned to mush. I think you're recommending double the milk this recipe needs. I boiled it in microwave for five minutes and it was already boiling over. I watched you pour the milk in your video and there is no way that is two cups. Looks like one cup and that is what I'll use next time. Thanks for the recipes!

[demonAnarchy]

i eat wit out the cashew nut and taste really good Mrs. Manjula. thanks for the Recipe.=)

[mossandlichens]

Thanks a lot for the simple tasty recipe Manjula :)

I served my carrot halwa on vanilla ice cream and it was polished off in seconds!

[dipysen1]

Hi Aunty, Thanks so much for the receipe. I just grated carrot and needed a good guide to help me make my gajar halwa :) and there you were. I have tried your receipes earlier also and thanks so much for posting them. Makes life easier for non-cooking young ladies like me

[amanisantana]

hi..cant wait to try this! my friend told me wen she makes gajar halwa she adds eggs to it as it tastes nicer? can you do this?? will it taste nicer?? thanks

[harpreet8181]

manjula ji thnxx a lot fo ds ... i really apriciate

[richa2315]

Thanks for the recipe Mrs. Manjula.. Just wanted to knw can i grate carrorts in mixxer?

[Manjulaskitchen]

any vegetable when you do in mixer looses the crispness.

[richa2315]

thank u !

[swatikris777]

i tried ur carror halwa for da 1st time and came our delicious!really iam so grateful to u!donno how 2 thank u!love u

[ELLIFOREVER93]

[Manjulaskitchen]

Yes you can use almonds

[vibhzy]

hey manjula thankyou so much for the receipe..its awesome...i will try it tonight. but wanted to know that since i dont have a microwave can i just put it in the carrots and then let it boil?

[Manjulaskitchen]

You can boil the milk with carrots

[12112023]

Thank you very much Manjula aunty.I tried out this recipe and it turned out really well!!

Happy Diwali to u!

[dafkgf]

[Haliekkk]

Hello mujula aunty! I wanted to ask that can i just cut mini carrots and cook them? or do i need to shred my carrots?

Also thank you for the recipes!

[Manjulaskitchen]

Carrots have to be shredded

[chillyhot01]

going to try this tonight!!

[flower123girl]

Amazing gajar halwa.Thanks for ur time

[prentauk]

Could you use pumpkin or butternut squash in this recipe as a substitute for some of the carrots? (I've got spare pumpkin to use up at this time of year!)

Thankyou.

[JaeJini]

do we have to put hot milk or cold milk?

[chillyhot01]

hot milk as she shows she heats the milk in the microwave for 20 mins...well i'm going to try this tonight!!!

[rajratt]

aunty do i use 2 cups of milk also if i am using the stove to boil the milk or more milk?

and auntyji i have seen a white layer on this dish in a hotel....what is it?..khoya? and how do we add that on?....because that looked very very good!!

[Manjulaskitchen]

use 2 cups of milk

[chraja]

Thanks a lot Manjula ji

[soheliakhter]

love ur cookings

[PepsiPower25]

i made this it came out so wrong, it had white lumps in it and looked like vomit lol

yours looks realy yummy!

[saraswati108]

thank you so much for this recipe and all the other ones...I always say that to cook Indian food properly one needs to have seen an Indina mother do it. ...so here I now have my Indian mother in you....thanks so much.

[ranio7]

didi ur cooking is brilliant

[lakhan49]

I think Manjula's method is the best as the

milk has already been "thickened" in the microwave before adding to the grated carrots...Congrats! And keep up the good work!

[haritaluv]

thanx alot mdm.. for a wonderful show of "the making of carrot halwa" :)

[very323]

[larcm1]

Thank YOU Manjula Jee for this video. Thanks to you, now I also know how to make Gaajar ka Halva, my favourite sweet dish.

[Chichiri520]

Do I have to use the cardamom powder? (I just got the name of it)

[Manjulaskitchen]

it is not necessary

[rohitjassal83]

Very tasty gajar ka halwa. I tried this home first time very delicious all my friends like very much. Thanks very much.
