Carrot Halwa

The HomeChef

Carrot halwa is one of my favourite Indian desserts. It is simple and easy to make. The inherent bright orange colour is so eye candy and tastes awesome too. It is also known as Gajar ka Halwa and gets into most Indian restaurant menus due to its popularity.

Carrots are one of the few vegetables that can be made into desserts. The halwa can be had just on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

Starters

Corn on the Cob

The HomeChef

Corn on the cob is a healthy and nutritious snack or starter. When I was a kid we used to visit the beaches where the corn will be sold by roasting over fire and coated with spices. Always delicious and yummy.

This is a similar version made at home. I have made the corn two ways in the video recipe: one way is by boiling in water and then roasting, the other way is directly roasting over the fire and coating with spices. Hope you enjoy it!
