    Carrot Halwa Recipe for Toddlers and Kids1

    Carrot halwa/Gajar Ka Halwa - delicious dessert for  toddlers, kids and for the whole family. Carrot halwa is a famous indian dessert and am sure everyone have their own version of making carrot halwa. Who can say no to this goodness!! It's one of the must dessert for your kids birthday party if you are preparing everything at home. I prefer adding brown sugar/palm sugar in place of white sugar to make it less sinful. This carrot halwa can be given to babies after one year as a dessert.

    Now Let's check how to make this carrot  recipe for toddlers and kids.

    Hope you liked this recipe.  

    Notes :
    • You could also pressure cook the carrots after adding milk for a whistle and continue with the further steps. Pressure cooking saves time. But cooking in open , gives nice taste.
    • You can also use jaggery to make carrot halwa, but sometimes adding jaggery to hot milk , make it curdle which might upset the tummy.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
    • Don't prefer whole nuts for small babies, instead add powdered nuts.
