Gajar Halwa, also known as carrot halwa, is a traditional North Indian dessert made with freshly grated carrots, milk, khoya, sugar, and ghee. The halwa is slow-cooked to enhance its richness, then garnished with dry fruits and a touch of silver varq. It is widely enjoyed during winter months and is a festive favourite for celebrations like Diwali and Holi.
