Description
Carrot Halwa Spring Roll is a fusion dessert that combines the rich, spiced sweetness of Indian gajar ka halwa with the crispy crunch of fried spring rolls. Perfect for festive occasions, parties, or an indulgent sweet treat.
Ingredients
- For the Carrot Halwa Filling:
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 2 cups whole milk or evaporated milk
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 tbsp ghee
- ½ tsp cardamom powder
- 2 tbsp chopped nuts (cashews, almonds, pistachios)
- 2 tbsp raisins (optional)
- For the Spring Rolls:
- 10–12 spring roll wrappers
- 2 tbsp flour + 2 tbsp water (sealing paste)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Make the Halwa: Heat ghee in a pan, add grated carrots, and sauté for 3–4 minutes. Add milk and cook until carrots are tender and liquid is mostly absorbed. Stir in sugar and cardamom powder, cooking until thickened. Add nuts and raisins, then cool completely.
- Assemble Rolls: Place a wrapper with a corner facing you. Spoon 1–2 tbsp cooled halwa on the lower third. Fold bottom over, tuck in the sides, roll tightly, and seal edge with flour paste.
- Fry Rolls: Heat oil in a pan. Fry rolls in batches until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with condensed milk or chocolate sauce if desired.
Notes
- Cool halwa completely before filling to prevent soggy wrappers.
- Do not overfill rolls or they may burst while frying.
- Best enjoyed fresh, but can be reheated in oven or air fryer.
