Notes
- I have used 1200g carrots, its weight is 1 kg after removing the skin and stalks.
- Red carrots are sweeter and juicer than regular carrots, If the red carrots are not available you can use the regular orange carrots.
- I do not use red carrots, it is not available where we live in the United States, and if it is available, you should always use it for carrot halwa.
- You can replace the milk powder with the same quantity of kova/khoya or condensed milk.
- You can grate the carrots in a vegetable grater or food processor, you can also use the mixer grinder to grate the carrots.
- While grating the carrots in a mixer jar, always use pulse mode.
- Instead of cooking it in a pressure cooker, you can also use a heavy-bottomed pot, stirring occasionally, until the moisture in the carrots, milk and sugar has evaporated.
- Do not cook more than 2 whistles in the pressure cooker, carrots should not be cooked mushy.
- For 1 kilogram of carrots, I have added 1 cup (200g) of sugar and you can add it according to your taste.
