Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 cups grated carrot

• 1 cup full-fat milk

• 2 tbsp ghee

• ½ cup Sugar Fighter Stevia Methai Powder (1:1 ratio, equivalent to sugar sweetness)

• ½ tsp cardamom powder

• Chopped nuts & raisins (for garnish)

How to Make Sugar-Free Gajar Halwa

1. Sauté the carrots: Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add the grated carrots and sauté on low flame for 5–7 minutes until they soften and release a sweet aroma.

2. Cook with milk: Pour in the milk and let the carrots cook until the milk is almost absorbed. Stir occasionally.

3. Sweeten & flavor: Add Sugar Fighter Stevia Methai Powder and cardamom powder. Mix well.

4. Thicken: Continue cooking on low flame until the halwa thickens and turns rich in texture.

5. Garnish & serve: Top with roasted nuts and raisins. Serve warm for the best taste.

Why the Right Stevia Matters

Not all sweeteners are suitable for traditional Indian sweets. Some leave a bitter aftertaste or change the texture. That’s why Sugar Fighter Stevia Methai Powder is ideal—it blends seamlessly into hot desserts, gives natural sweetness, and keeps the authentic taste of Gajar Halwa intact.

✨ Use fresh, juicy carrots for natural sweetness and color.
