Hi Saumya, Yes, you can skip adding mawa. Refer this recipe https://www.tarladalal.com/Quick-Gajar-ka-Halwa-Carrot-Halwa-Without-Mawa-1749r

Please don''t post recipe if you have not made it yourself. You have no clue how to make gajar halwa in microwave. DO NOT add milk even if Tarla Dalal says so. It is a nightmare to vaporize all the liquid. Carrots have their own moisture and its enough to cook them. Add more milk powder if you want it to be creamy.

Hi, Thank you for your suggestion ... There is no need to add milk powder as it doesnt taste very nice in this recipe, 15 minutes is not very long to cook a gajar ka halwa in a microwave..

Hi.. Is it ok to replace khoya and sugar with condensed milk.. If yes what''s the quantity of condensed milk required? Does the bowl need to be covered during the microwaving process? What''s the quantity of carrots (in Kg) used in the above recipe?
Tarla Dalal
March 13, 2025, midnight
You can use the below recipe which is without mava and instead of sugar you can try making with condensed milk. https://www.tarladalal.com/Quick-Gajar-ka-Halwa-Carrot-Halwa-Without-Mawa-1749r

I did not expect the microwave recipe to over take the good old gas one...but I must say i am surprised! It looked reallly nice and reddish orange and the sweetness was perfect. not chewy either! Faster way of making gajar ka halwa!

My favorite dessert when dining on Indian cusine. I was excited to find such a simple-to-prepare recipe here. The first batch was superb - just exactly like what I'm served at restaurants. I still had a large quantity of mava (and an uncertain shelf-life) so I used all that remained for a second try - expanding amounts of other ingredients correspondingly. The cooking time expansion I guessed at (four times the recommended lengths in the microwave - roughly equal to the multiplier for the ingredients) and it seemed to work all right. The big problem for me was grating all that carrot - it wore me out.
