That’s where the Mahaa stainless-steel Sauce Pan makes all the difference.

Classic Gajar ka Halwa Recipe (Slow-Cooked)

Ingredients

• 1 kg red carrots, finely grated

• 1 litre full-cream milk

• 3–4 tbsp ghee

• ½ cup sugar (adjust to taste)

• ¼ cup chopped cashews & almonds

• ¼ cup raisins

• ½ tsp cardamom powder

Method (Best Cooked in Mahaa Sauce Pan)

1. Slow-Carrot Cook
   Heat the Mahaa Sauce Pan on medium flame. Add grated carrots and milk.
   Let it simmer gently, stirring occasionally.

2. Reduce with Patience
   Cook uncovered till the milk reduces and carrots soften completely.
   Mahaa’s steel ensures no burning at the base, even during long reduction.

3. Add Ghee & Sweetness
   Stir in ghee and sugar. Cook till the halwa thickens and turns glossy.

4. Finish with Dry Fruits
   Add nuts, raisins, and cardamom powder. Mix well and cook for another 5–7 minutes.

5. Rest & Serve Warm
   Switch off the flame and cover lightly.
   The sauce pan’s heat retention keeps the halwa warm without overcooking.

Why Stainless Steel Matters for Milk-Based Desserts

Milk-based sweets demand cookware that:

• Doesn’t react with dairy

• Handles long simmering

• Maintains steady temperature

Mahaa’s stainless-steel sauce pan checks all three—making it ideal not just for halwa, but for kheer, payasam, and rabri too.

Perfect for Christmas & Winter Gatherings

Gajar ka halwa may be traditional, but it fits beautifully into Christmas and winter celebrations:

• Serve warm after a festive meal

• Pair with vanilla ice cream for a modern touch

• Ideal for large family gatherings

And thanks to Mahaa steel, it stays warm and ready—no reheating stress.
