Which stevia can be used for this? The stevia I use, it has a bitter aftertaste. Can you suggest?
Hi Janice. You can use erythritol too. So sweet brand from Amazon
The smell of ghee….cardamom….cashews and the pumpkin makes u wanna chow down the whole thing as soon as its done but wait!!! Take a pic and enjoy the way it looked as soon as its over. Melts in your mouth! A recipe everyone should try 🙂
thank you sarah <3
Can a carrot (gajar) halva be made keto looking at the carbs(including sugar) in a carrot! (100gms of carrot has 10gms carb when sugar is 4.7 gms)
Also while doing that what if I replace coconut milk and paneer with cream (Malai) out of normal full cream Milk?
I am really considering putting in all the effort to make it. hope it is worth it in Keto 😀
Your suggestion please!
Honestly, if you are just starting out. Do not eat carrots as it will be hard to adapt. Better make the gajar halva as a treat after 2 months of proper keto 🙂 You can make dudhi halva instead. that is pretty low carb. Yes, you can use malai ( a.k.a homemade fresh cream) but here paneer was used to give it more volume and the chunky bits tastes as khoa/mawa
Thanks Ankita! so lauki halwa it is is.. I love that too and a good option … leaving carrots aside till next winter 🙂
Awesome ? Let me know how was it
Its amazing… I have kept it lightly sweet (erythritol) and its yum
Not even an inch different than the sugar one ?
