Gajar Halwa is a traditional Indian dessert from north of India. We grew up eating this Halwa during winter times when carrots were in season in India. The carrots in India would be reddish orange color and this Halwa during winter times would be ultimate comfort. The original Halwa has Desi ghee, Milk and Khoya that adds richness to the Halwa. I have so many friends and families who are vegan so this Diwali, I am sharing my recipe of a vegan version of this Halwa. When I started making this Halwa, I thought it will miss the richness but to my surprise it tastes just as good as original Halwa. The sugar level is just perfect as I can’t eat mithai that is overly sweet. The nuts adds the perfect crunch. When eaten warm, it tastes so comforting especially on a chilly night. Wishing you and your family Happy Diwali. I can’t wait to see you all make this so don’t forget to share your pictures with me
