The name's Halwa... Gajar ka Halwa!



The Engineer picks up the Karchi again..this time to dish out Gajar ka Halwa !

And all it took was :

  • 2 dozen carrots (finely grated) , 
  • a fistful of sugar (evenly sprinkled) , 
  • desi ghee, 
  • 40 minutes,
  • and a girl waiting to eat it all! 

.

My mum, of course!

The halwa didn't even last an hour!

That's the short part of it!

The long part is that carrots have to be washed and in this weather the water feels finger-numbing cold. Your paunch is growing, but that is no excuse to feel tired after grating just 1 carrot when there are 13 more left to be done! And grated carrots when combined with ghee and sugar and stirred for some time over a medium flame smell delicious, but that is no reason to whip out the camera and snap a picture of the steaming delicacy.

I am getting better. Period!
