The Indian dessert made with grated carrots, a specific amount of water, milk, sugar, cardamom, and ghee can make you feel heavenly just by tasting a spoonful of it. In the picture she shared, the actress was seen getting her hair and makeup done, seemingly seated in her makeup room. Additionally, she was seen all set to indulge in a bowl of what appears to be the scrumptious gajar ka halwa. Her cute smile in the photo revealed her excitement to savor the sweet treat.

Also, look at the key benefits of winter’s favorite vegetable to your body:
Boosts eye health:Carrots, being rich in vitamin A, lutein, and lycopene, help maintain good eyesight.
Ensures bowel movements: The significant amount of dietary fiber in carrots supports digestion and helps prevent conditions like constipation.
Fights cholesterol: Carrots boost heart health with the high fiber quotient in them, which helps in removing excess “unhealthy ” (LDL) cholesterol levels from the body.
Boosts skin health: Packed with potassium, beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene, and the high silicon content of carrot roots, it gives the skin and nails a radiant glow.
Boosts immunity: The various vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, such as B6 and K, potassium, phosphorus, and more, contribute to bone health, a stronger nervous system, and better brain function.
