Gazar Ka Halwa is freat dessert loved by all. In winter's in every home people love to eat this dessert after having lunch or dinner. Its very easy to make and is very healthy. In winter's we get fresh carrots available in market and halwa made by it tastes awesome and mouth watery. I simply love it.
