I have this wonderful memory from childhood It was a dessert made out of carrots, with a lovely milky taste, rich with cardamom and with the occasional bite of a sweet raisin or cashew. It’s a special memory and one I cherish. But there are three problems with making it. One, it takes literally hours to make. Two, it needs a special milk solid called Khoya which isn’t widely available in the States. And three, it has a ton of sugar in it. Not always having the time to track down the khoya, nor the desire to consume all that sugar, I had to come up with a different way of approaching this. So, of course I turned to my handy dandy Instant Pot. The texture is a little different than halva made with khoya, but the taste is the same. I’m so excited to be able to make this so easily and happy to be able to share this with anyone who wants to try a hands-off version of Gajjar Halva.

How To Make This Halva Recipe
Tips And Tricks
Let me warn you: this recipe works, but when you open the pot you’re going to be horrified and think you messed up because everything looks like a big curdled mess. It’s not. Milk separates under pressure. But to me, this is what helps thicken up the final product. It actually acts like an ersatz version of Khoya, which is milk solids with the water evaporated out of it. Just keep calm, stir it well, and you’ll find the milk solids get incorporated back into the dish, and thickens up the final product.
