Hi Mangala!
Thanks for your superb recipe! But the thing is at the end when we have to add ghee, I think instead of 4tbsp it's better to not add at all! 'Coz it turned out too oily... Anyway, it's a hit and this is the first time I cooked and mum's proud! Thanks a lot! :)

Wow... Thank you Santos for trying out my Carrot Halwa recipe . See, you cooked for the first time and already started to give suggestions! Keep going with your cooking.... :)

Ya dear your narration itself is so tempting.I asked my dad to bring carrots today.Even in the morning i was thinking of your narration.It was just awesome.Going to try it today...:)

I'm sure You and your family will love the Carrot halwa. Thanks Surya :)

Hi,

was thinking of making this recipe for a get together tomorrow.I have to prepare it for around 15 people.How much carrot shud i take and also can i make it today and refrigerate it?Its an outdoor event and wil have to be in sun for around 6 hours.hope it wont get spoiled.

Reshmiok,
You sure can make and refrigerate once the carrot halwa comes to room temperature. I made carrot halwa for 20 people as dessert. Be prepared to stand a little longer time in front of the stove. You can take the dessert to outdoor, they wont spoil because we will be cooking it with ghee and sugar for long time over stove. For 15 people we'll need around 20 medium sized carrots (as shown in the 3rd picture in this post). Once they're grated they'll become more. Also if possible use a wide-mouthed pan so that the carrots will be cooked fast. I'll be online for you the whole day. You may ask me questions about the recipe if you have.

Thanks mangala for the fast reply :)...i didnt have much hope while posting d question since i knew it was a last minute question,..even i dont have a wide mouthed pan which can hold this much.i was planning 2 ,make it in a cooker similar to that one in the pic of urs..

Reshmi, since it was night here I was not able to reply fast :) Yeah you can make carrot halwa with the pressure cooker Reshmi. I made that large quantity of carrot halwa in pressure cooker only, but it will sure take lot of time and gas/electricity. However, you may reduce the time if you "Pressure Cook" the carrots with milk for say 5 whistles. Then carry on the steps from Step 6.

Hey....it came out well..,even though it didnt become hard(so that i cud cut into pieces),it tasted yummy..everyone told it was tasty.,thank u very much 4 the recipe as well as the support

Resh,
Thank you for writing me the feedback for this Carrot Halwa recipe :) Carrot halwa will be loose only. I would say "it HAS to be loose only". However, if you wanted it to firm to cut into pieces, then we need to pack them tight (after bringing them to room temperature) in a rectangular box, close it and put it in refrigerator. Take them out after say 6 hrs or overnight and cut them into pieces. Yum. Thank you once again. :)

Carrot halwa, I tried from your recipe. It's yummy.... really very delicious

O thank you sweet Sherlie :)
Happy this Carrot Halwa recipe turned out to be a hit!

We don't get red carrots here, and the halwa made with orange carrots doesn't look nice at all, seems to take away half the taste.... Any suggestions?

Hi Fatima,
I haven't tried Carrot halwa with red carrots. But made several times with normal Orange carrots. I can assure of the taste when you make Halwa with Orange Carrots. Just try with small quantity.

Awesome receipe and the pictures sure makes it so easy... I took the receipe 2 weeks back and prepared it the very next day and the result is I ended up preparing it already 3 times in 2 weeks coz my family members liked it so much they just go get carrot and say "Please prepare carrot halwa for me". Thanks to you Mangala :)

Thereby continued reading your other recipes like Khoya, Puliogare, Pepper Chicken ... Would definitely try carrot halwa this weekend..

Hi Sneha,
I would like to thank you very much for your time spent in my blog! You're welcome again. SUre you try to make this Carrot Halwa. If you have homemade ghee it tastes divine. You can use store bought ghee too. Hey I'm planning to make few other sweets recipes for Diwali. Hopefully I do that soon :)

Carrot halwa is one of my all time fav. We usually get orange carrots here all year round but only in winters we get red carrots and I wait eagerly for these carrots to arrive in the market. Only the grating part is the most tedious which I conveniently hand over to my husband :) Your halwa is looking gorgeous.

Raji,
Thank you :)
I did not realize to direct the 'tediious' job of grating carrots to the husband until last time I made Carrot Halwa. He truly was exhausted :D :D :D
I wish I get to see those red carrots here....
