This is a wonderful spice filled dessert that resembles plum pudding but is low in fat (unless you use the buttery sauce!). The buttery sauce is optional, the pudding is good with or without it!

GAJAR HALWA (CARROT AND CARDAMOM PUDDING)



Gajar Halwa (Carrot and Cardamom Pudding) image

The recipe for this Indian dessert comes from the North Carolina chef Cheetie Kumar, and it instantly transports her to her mother's kitchen around Diwali, the air rich with the aroma of fragrant carrots, caramelized milk and cardamom. The carrots are cooked down to be incredibly tender, but they still maintain some texture; the milk becomes jammy. If eaten warm, it's like a really decadent warm cereal or oatmeal; if served cold, it's like rice pudding, cool and sweet. The crunch of the toasted nuts make it the perfect meal-ender or tea time snack. If your carrots are bland, increase the sugar accordingly; the sweetness of the carrots makes a huge difference in the finished pudding. Some people prefer a looser halwa, but Ms. Kumar loves the caramelized notes that emerge when the pudding is cooked a little longer.

Time 1h

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons ghee or clarified butter
8 to 10 large peeled and shredded carrots (about 4 cups/455 grams), prepared with a food processor into long strands or grated on the large holes on a box grater
3 cups/720 milliliters good-quality whole milk
1/2 teaspoon green cardamom seeds, removed from several pods or purchased already shucked, crushed lightly in mortar and pestle
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar, plus more to taste
1/4 cup/30 grams chopped toasted pistachios, almonds or a mixture

Steps:

  • In a wide, heavy-bottomed skillet (don't use nonstick) over medium heat, melt ghee, then add carrots. Stir until carrots are well coated with ghee. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until carrots are somewhat dry and caramelized, about 20 to 25 minutes, stirring often so they don't scorch.
  • Once the carrots are nice and dried out, stir in the milk and cardamom and simmer, stirring every few minutes, until the milk has reduced and is almost fully absorbed, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in the sugar, mix well to combine, and cook 5 to 8 more minutes until the mixture is almost dry and jammy. Serve warm or cold with toasted nuts sprinkled over the top.

Time 1h

Yield 2 puddings

Number Of Ingredients 8

170 g carrots
100 g butter
125 g flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon coriander
100 g brown sugar
25 g raisins

Steps:

  • Grate the carrots (the finer the moister the pudding gets) and preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Combine flour, sugar and spices in a bowl. In a second bowl cream the butter. Add to the flour-mixture.
  • Add the carrots and the raisins. Blend well.
  • Fill into two oven-proof dishes, sprinkle with some sugar and bake for 40-45 minutes (cover after 20 minutes if already browned on top).

Tips:

  • For a creamier texture, use full-fat milk and cream.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can place a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
  • Be sure to stir the pudding constantly while it's cooking to prevent it from scorching.
  • Allow the pudding to cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly.
  • Garnish the pudding with grated carrot, chopped nuts, or whipped cream before serving.
