Hi friends,
This Gajar Halwa is made in my LG charcoal microwave oven.
Gajar Halwa is a yummy dessert item loved by one and all. You get the best halwas using the red variety of carrots, which I have used here. There are many ways of preparing it. I am showing a healthy way of making it in the microwave oven, where I am using only milk with carrots and not condensed milk or khova. The ingredients are mentioned at every stage of preparation. I have made gajar halwa using 400 g carrots (3 large ones) in just 25 minutes.
Method: -
1. Wash, peel and grate carrots. Put the grated carrot in a microwave safe glass bowl. Add milk, stir well. Cover with a lid.
2. Keep in the microwave initially for 20 minutes at full power (900W in my model).
3, Keep stirring in between to check if the milk is absorbed and the carrot has become dry.
4. Once carrot is cooked and almost dry, add ghee, and sugar. Stir well and continue cooking.
5. Remove after some time, add cardamom powder and part of nuts and raisins.
6. Cover and cook for the remaining 3 minutes (of 20 minutes).
7. Remove, stir. You will see that the sugar has melted. Stir well and add milk powder at this stage.
Adding milk powder is optional. I like the grainy texture it gives, so I add it.
8. Microwave again for 5-7 minutes. By this time all the liquid would have evaporated and the halwa will be ready.
9. Garnish with the remaining nuts and serve the gajar halwa as a dessert or along with ice cream and enjoy as it is hot or cold!!

P.S:
Making gajar halwa or for that matter, any sweet in a microwave uses less fat (ghee here). Also, you can avoid the hassle of cleaning greasy, sticky kadhais/pans.
In this recipe I have used just 1 tbsp of melted ghee.
Sugar can be added to suit your requirement and taste. If you are adding milk powder, you can further reduce sugar.
Microwave time could increase or decrease slightly depending on the size of your microwave, type of carrots, quantity used and the moisture content.
