i was eagerly awaiting the yummy gajar halwa my mom was to make today evening and when the time arrived she postponed the plans till tomorrow. i was dejected... and especially my tummy for the yummy!!! so i decided i will make it myself... actually it is my love for food that has made me learn to cook. and today too i was learning. i had made gajar halwa before but never in the microwave. this was going to be an experiment of sorts. i asked mom how much sugar and ghee to add. that is the only thing i asked her apart. and i set forth. i instantly grated 3 long carrots directly in the microwave dish. i added like 2 1/2 tablespoons ghee and sugar, a little less than half the quantity of carrots. having mixed them well, i covered the bowl with a lid and put it inside the microwave for 7 minutes! after the first round of microwaving, the carrots were almost done but not fully and the creamy part was still left. so i added cardomom essence, saffron, cashews, kismis, 1 1/2 - 2 cupfuls of grated mawa, 3-4 teaspoons of condensed milk and a dash of salt and put it right back in the microwave for 4 1/2 minutes.
the moment i opened the lid, my low-leaning face was instantly hit by a warm wave of safron laced steam! wow! it felt hot and nice!
the end result can be seen from the pics!
have a nice day!
tin din ti din!
