How to make Papaya and Carrot Halwa Recipe

  1. To begin making the Papaya and Carrot Halwa Recipe, first get the ingredients ready by grating the papaya and carrots.

  2. In a heavy bottomed pan add the ghee, the grated papaya and carrots. Saute for a few minutes until you get a good aroma. Stir in the milk, sugar and simmer with the papaya carrot halwa mixture until all the milk condenses to form a thick halwa.

  3. You will notice the halwa would become thick and become sticky leaving the sides of the pan. The milk and water content should be completely evaporated and the Papaya Carrot Halwa will look glossy.

  4. At this stage add a tablespoon of ghee and mix well and finally stir in the cardamom powder, saffron and sliced almonds to the halwa. Turn off the heat and serve.

  5. Serve the Papaya & Carrot Halwa along with vanillas ice cream as a Dessert for parties or as a special sweet for the festivals like Diwali, Navratri, Raksha Bandhan and Holi.
