Gajar ka halwa for me is also about nostalgia. The recipe we use has been in the family for quite some time. I don’t remember a single winter where we didn’t have a bowl full of gajar ka halwa in the fridge. The excitement that took over when I saw my mother buying carrots in bulk from the vegetable market is incomparable. You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy pineapple custard and that’s kind of the same thing, The perfect custard is like music that makes my taste buds dance.
