Happy that Vinayagar Chaturthi and my 100threcipe fall on the same day. May God shower you with good Health and Wealth. I want the recipe flexible to all, so I preferred Gajar Ka Halwa | Low or Reduced Fat Carrot Halwa in Pressure Cooker. This is a never fail recipe and anyone can make halwa in jiffy since my method is going to be pressure cooker version. 100% I am dedicating to all my fellow readers…Since it is low in fat don’t doubt the taste, definitely this is close to restaurant  taste but guilt free indulgence..
