    Carrot Halwa is a very famous and traditional Indian dessert. There are many variations of making carrot halwa like carrot halwa with khoya and condensed milk carrot halwa. This is another variation with coconut milk. I made this halwa a few months back and we loved it a lot. Adding the coconut milk to the classic carrot halwa gives a mild coconut flavor. You can make this halwa for any occasion or festivals like Diwali, Rakha Bandhan, Krishnashtami and Holi.
