"Recipe of the Day, Week No. 89: (Royal Gajar Ka Halwa with Mixed Dry Fruits)"

Hey lovely Steemit people! 💖
It’s your girl @elsa-queen here. I hope all my chef besties having a good day. Friends staying connected with you all truly brings a smile to my face.

I am very happy to share my recipe for the Recipe of the Day Contest in this Steemit Iron Chef Community. I prepared the gajar ka halwa (carrot puddr)with lots of love for my youngest daughter. Friends I truly hope you enjoy it as much as I do. A big heartfelt thank you to our sweet ma’am @dasudi for hosting this amazing cooking contest.

Step 1 !

First of all I took 6 kilograms of carrots. Then I washed them properly. I peeled them using a cutter. The peeling of 6 kg of carrots takes some time and can be a little exhausting friends.

Step 2 !

After peeling the carrots. We usually grated it. This is an ideal method. However as my daughter was not feeling well. I was alone. Then grating such a large quantity of carrots was not possible for me. So I chose to cut them instead and chopped all the carrots.

Step 3 !

After cutting the carrots. I washed it thoroughly once more. Then I transferred it to a large pot. Then I placed it on the stove. I added approximately ¼ kg of milk along with the two cups of sugar.

Step 4 !

Then I let it cook on medium heat for 30 minutes. Then within this time. The carrots become softened. A lovely aroma began to fill the kitchen friends. After 30 minutes. The carrots were almost fully cooked.

Step 5 !

Friends then I mashed the carrots with the help of a masher. This way the carrots mashed easily. I saved myself from the hard work of grating. Actually this was the first time I made carrot halwa this way. Even this method makes the halwa very delicious, Inshallah.

Step 6 !

Then I fried the carrots thoroughly. Because there was still some milk and water of carrots left in them. I made sure to fry the halwa well. So it cooked evenly and developed a nice texture. Then I added the ghee and fried well.

Step 7 !

Then when all the water from the carrots had completely dry. They were dry. I added the dry fruits. I added the almonds, the cashews, the raisins and the peanuts. At the same time. I also added the khoya. I didn’t add all the dry fruits at once. I kept some aside to use later.

Step 8 !

Then after adding all these ingredients. I fried it for ten minutes. The aroma was amazing. Then after 10 minutes. My halwa was cooked and ready. I served it on a plate.

Step 9 !

Then I added a lot of dry fruits on top. Because my daughter loves dry fruits very much. I thought that if I added plenty of dry fruits while serving. She would be very happy. This way my recipe for today was complete.

So friends this is my participation in this contest. I hope you appreciate my entry. I am eager to read your thoughtful comments.

I am tagging my friends so they can also enjoy participating in this contest @jimiaera02 , @max-pro , @ahsansharif and @memamun , @kibreay001.
