Gajrela

Chef Raj Thandhi Darpan, 14 Apr, 2025
  • Gajrela

Ingredients: 

  • 6 cups grated carrots (approximately 1.5 lbs of carrots) 
  • 5 ½ cups milk 
  • ¾ cups sugar 
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder 
  • ¼ -½ cups mixed nuts (I used cashews and slivered almonds) 
  • Ghyo/ghee for frying nuts (optional) 

 

Directions: 

  • Start by bringing the milk up to a boil and letting it cook for 2-3 minutes at a rolling boil. Add in the carrots and bring the temperature down to low/medium. You are looking for a light simmer. Keep stirring the carrot mixture frequently. You don’t want the milk to stick to the pot.  
  • Cook the carrot mixture for 45 minutes and then add in the sugar and mix well.  
  • At this point you can turn the heat up to medium and cook for another 15-20 minutes or until the mixture comes together (it will get thicker as it cools). Keep stirring the entire time so the mixture doesn’t burn.  
  • Remove from the heat and top with cardamom powder and nuts.
