    The traditional method of cooking gajar ka halwa is a long process, simmering milk with grated carrots for long hours till milk evaporates and milk solids lefts in halwa. To cook it in a lesser time nowadays we use either khoya/mava or milk powder or condensed milk which gives a kind of similar result. Try using full-fat milk which gives the best texture to the halwa.
