Carrot dessert or gajarhalwa. The recipe for this Indian dessert comes from the North Carolina chef Cheetie Kumar, and it instantly transports her to her mother's kitchen around Diwali, the air rich with the aroma of fragrant carrots, caramelized milk and cardamom The carrots are cooked down to be incredibly tender, but they still maintain some texture; the milk becomes jammy If eaten warm, it's like a really decadent. Will keep, covered in the fridge, for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to six months. Gajar Halwa (Carrot Halwa), an epitome of finest Indian sweets, is a delicious dessert prepared from carrot and milk.
