Microwave Gajar Halwa | Easy GF desserts

Come Winter and we make copious quantities of Gajar Halwa and Doodhi Halwa, and so many many varieties too 🙂

I usually make it on the stove top, but this is a quick microwave version I learnt from a cousin-in-law. The only effort is to watch over the Halwa to ensure its not burnt with frequent stirring. 

3 ingredients and Gluten Free dish for your party or late night cravings. Do let me know how you like it.
