One of the best recipes to try when carrots are in season is gajar pak. Gajar pak, gajar ki barfi or carrot burfi recipe is an extended version of popular gajar ka halwa with more thick consistency. Also the cooking time is considerably more in gajar ki burfi as the moisture has to be dried properly before shaping it. but the end result is worth a wait. Gajar pak is a famous carrot sweet of subcontinent. Like traditional carrot sweets which are mainly prepared with milk, condensed milk, full cream and milk solids like khoya or mawa. This gajar pak is also made with mawa or khoya and this makes it more rich, creamier and moist dessert. The taste of this gajar pak is almost similar to halwa but the texture is different.
