If you're looking to enjoy Gajar Ka Halwa without the calories, you can make a healthier version that still retains its rich flavor. Here’s how you can prepare a low-calorie version of this traditional Indian dessert:
Cook the Carrots: In a large pan, heat the ghee or coconut oil over medium heat. Add the grated carrots and cook until they become soft and tender (about 15-20 minutes).
Add Milk and Sweetener: Stir in the almond milk or low-fat milk. Allow it to simmer until the liquid is absorbed, and the mixture thickens slightly.
Thicken the Halwa: Add almond flour or oat flour to create a creamier consistency. Stir well to prevent lumps.
Sweeten and Flavor: Add honey or your preferred natural sweetener and cardamom powder. Mix thoroughly.
Finish and Serve: Once the mixture reaches your desired consistency, remove from heat. Garnish with chopped nuts or chia seeds for extra texture, if desired.
This healthier version retains the traditional flavors of Gajar Ka Halwa while reducing calories and sugar. Enjoy a guilt-free treat!
