Notes
Use red carrots to make carrot halwa. These carrots are available only in winters and the real taste of this halwa shines through when you use red carrots to make it.
You can freeze the halwa for 1-2 months. Just transfer it in a freezer-safe box and freeze. Thaw before using and warm in a microwave.
You can make this gajar halwa without khoya also. Increase the amount of milk by ½ liter and skip the khoya. Follow the remaining process exactly. However, the real taste comes when khoya is added to it. So skip it, only if it is really not possible.
