Easy Carrot Halwa - Gajar Ka Halwa in Pressure Cooker

Easy Carrot Halwa / Gajar ka Halwa in Pressure Cooker

Carrot halwa in pressure cooker easy and take less time. This simple recipe made with carrot, milk and sugar. Carrot halwa is one of the most popular Indian sweet. I have so many fond memories of my mom’s Carrot Halwa- it was simply amazing. My mom always made it on the stove-top in a slow way. I was finally able to adapt her recipe to the Instant Pot with my pressure cooker. It reduces the cooking time and eliminates the initial stirring time, which to me, is a huge plus.
