    Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to all my Readers!

    Carrot Coconut Milk Halwa is a sinful dessert made with grated carrots and cooked in coconut milk.

    The silky, nutty carrot halwa gets a makeover when cooked in coconut milk and is so delicious. Since I have so many versions of Carrot halwa on the blog, this version caught my attention and I decided I would surely give it a try.

    Everybody loved it and will surely be repeated when I have excess coconut milk on hand.

    If you are wondering why I am talking about this halwa, well we are starting our September Mega Blogging Marathon, where we will be blogging nonstop through the month, taking off on Sundays.

    The theme for BM#104 is Sweets and Snacks. It is further split into 4 weeks, each week with a theme. I wasn’t planning to do it in this space, however, once I decided, I was very clear I will be doing Halwas. I had a goal of creating 101 Halwa.

    So under Sweets this week, you will get to read different halwas. My initial list had all halwas with whole-grain flours some different combinations. I happened to start with this halwa as it was the easiest recipe and ended up sharing it first.

    I have different versions and cooking methods in making the quintessential Gajjar Ka Halwa, then a Quick Gajar Halwa made in Pressure Cooker, Another version of Carrot Halwa that happened during A First Love. Carrot Moong Dal Halwa, Microwave Carrot Halwa

      Ganesh Chaturthi wishes to you as well. I guess the coconut milk adds a rich flavor to the already sinful halwa.

      The combo of coconut milk with carrots sounds very interesting , I should try it this winter ! From the texture of the Halwa , I feel it is not as dry as the Halwa we usually make , am I right ?
      I love this Halwa theme , what a beautiful sinful morning !

      OMG! This looks so tempting. I am sure the coconut milk in there added a new level of flavor. Must try it when I have coconut milk at home.
