sue's picture of a bowl of perfect gajar halwa (here) may or may not have been posted intentionally to torment the rest of us but at least shahpar and i are now hungry. this is the season for it after all. so let's have some recipes: from the simple short-cuts to the hardcore traditional; from the cholesterol-conscious to the decadently ghee-laden.

okay, i have finally made my gajar halwa, and i followed pratibha's recipe (above). all i can say is that if the pressure-cooker version is as good or better then it must be very good indeed.  those black things are raisins--god help me, i didn't use the yellow ones and i didn't soak them. i didn't put any nuts either--i like my gajar halwa without nuts. god help me again, i used commercial ghee (swad). can only imagine how much better still it would be with home-made ghee and the proper kishmish. took about two hours of work from beginning to end (including prep)--i sat over the pan (a heavy-bottomed, wide, non-stick thing) on a bar-stool and stirred for about an hour and a half. it should also be clear from the photograph that everything sue learned about food photography she clearly learned from me... -------------------- yeh sab kya ho raha hai, beta duryodhan? arnab@anothersubcontinent.com |
