Gajarachi Vadi – Marathi Recipe

Instructions

• Heat up a pan on medium heat.
• Add ghee, carrot and mix well.
• Fry on medium heat for about 4-5 minutes.
• Add khoya, sugar and mix well.
• You can add 1 cup milk powder in place of khoya.
• Add almonds, pistachios and mix well.
• Fry the mixture on medium heat for about 7-8 minutes or the mixture thickens up a little.
• Add desiccated coconut and mix well.
• It is not compulsory to add desiccated coconut but it helps to absorb moisture in the mixture and gives nice flavour to it.
• If you don’t add coconut then you can cook the mixture until it thickens up really good.
• When the mixture thickens up really good and comes together like dough, add cardamom powder and mix well.
• Take the mixture out into a dish and spread it evenly.
• Garnish with slices of almonds and pistachios and press them a little.
• Rest the mixture at room temperature for about 2-3 hours to set.
• No need to set it in freeze.
• If you set the mixture in freeze then it will thicken up until in freeze and later it may release moisture.
• Cut it into pieces and gajarachi vadi is already.
