Gajar Halwa Tart, Basundi Recipe

Gajar Halwa Tart Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Gajar Halwa

   In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the ghee over medium heat. Add the grated carrots and sauté for about 5 minutes until they soften.

2. 2

   Cook the Carrots

   Pour in the milk and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the carrots are fully cooked (about 30-40 minutes).

3. 3

   Add Sugar and Nuts

   Stir in the sugar and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until the halwa becomes dry. Add the cardamom powder and chopped nuts, mixing well.

4. 4

   Prepare the Tart

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the tart crust in a tart pan and fill it with the gajar halwa mixture, spreading it evenly.

5. 5

   Bake the Tart

   Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden brown.

6. 6

   Prepare the Basundi

   In a separate pot, boil milk and reduce it to half its volume. Stir continuously to avoid burning. Add sugar and cardamom, and cook for another 5-7 minutes.

7. 7

   Serve

   Pour the basundi over the gajar halwa tart or serve it on the side. Garnish with additional chopped nuts if desired.
