    Vegan Gajar Ka Halwa is a quick carrot halwa with minced carrot in a pressure cooker for an instant dessert.

    I made this Vegan Gajar Ka Halwa as part of the Mega BM. For the sweets, I wanted to feature quick desserts. Since I had many different versions of carrot halwa, like the traditional Carrot halwa, Microwave Carrot Halwa, I decided to make a vegan version and a quick one on that!

    We have always thought carrot halwa is tough as we have to grate the carrots. I have previously made this carrot halwa in the pressure cooker for a quick dessert. This time I went one step forward and did away with grating the carrots.

    To make the whole cooking process quick, I pulsed the carrots a couple of times to mince. Next, you can pressure cook to fasten the cooking process.

    For the final day of making "Sweets with Vegetables," I have this delicious sweet made the easy way! Another version of Carrot Halwa you can check out.

    Ingredients Used

    Since I had coconut milk on hand, I decided to make this a vegan sweet. However, you can simply use regular milk if you don't have coconut milk and yet want to make a quick sweet.

    So if you decide to use regular milk, you can also use condensed milk to do away with sugar. The whole mixture is cooked on low flame. Add finely chopped nuts and you won't miss the ghee at all.

      I remember cooking whole carrots in milk and then mashing them up later with a ladle instead of grating it. Nice take with coconut milk here, good replacement for a vegan version.
