Instructions

1. How to make Instant Pot Gajar Ka Halwa
2. Start melting 3 tbsp of ghee in the Instant Pot using the Saute mode.
3. Once the display reads HOT, add in the cashew nuts and roast until golden brown. Take it out and set aside. (If you like raisins you can roast them until plump at this stage and keep that aside too.)
4. Add in the grated carrots and saute them for 2-3 minutes until they turn a little soft.
5. Next in goes the milk and condensed milk. Stir and bring it to a boil. Do keep stirring in between to avoid burning of carrots as well as milk sticking to the base of the pot.
6. Once it starts boiling. Cancel the saute mode. Put the lid on. Vent to sealing position. Using manual or pressure cook mode set the time to 3 mins.
7. Allow 2 mins of NPR and do a quick release. Once the pin drops immediately open the lid and stir everything. You would still see some liquid do not worry just stir for another 4-5 mins and the carrots would absorb all of it and begin to thicken.
8. At this stage add the cardamom powder and the roasted cashew nuts. Reserve some nuts for garnishing if you like. Give a final stir. And just before switching it off add the remaining 2 tbsp of ghee and stir them too.
9. Your delicious gajar ka halwa is ready.
