Pasta salad with roasted eggplant dressing |How to make pasta salad from scratch

Hello folks,hope you are doing fine.After a long hiatus I am back .OK....I got it ,you guys might be wondering about my where abouts.Yes,that's what your messages conveyed.Thank you every one for your sweet messages I was really touched.Hm mm ...I was missing from this space as I was busy visiting my family back home  for Eid, followed by my brothers wedding .Staying far away from homeland ,weddings are the only occasion where we get to meet our relatives and friends from far and near .Coming back to Doha I was welcomed by a dust laden house and scorching summer.Grrr!! summer in a dessert, you have to experience it to feel it .That is just inexplicable in words .

Gajar ka halwa /carrot halwa

I think gajar ka halwa / carrot halwa needs no introduction for us (Indians ). But still for my friends(other than Indians) who don't know about this ,This is a dessert made with grated carrots and khoya(milk reduction) and tempered with generous amount of ghee !!!(yes you read it right )and dry fruits . 

It is the most sought after dessert after kheer .You can find this dessert adorning the dining tables especially during winters when the red carrot which is an Indian variety of carrot is found in abundance .It(red carrot) is believed to be more nutritious and provides warmth to the body than the regular carrot .

When I was on my grocery shopping found these red carrots and grasped it with the intention of making halwa and Alhamdulillah it came into effect (thanks to the pestering of my kids )other wise these days I have been so lethargic to whip up even simple things !!!!may be its the weather that's making me feel drowsy ....):  .This time I have tried it with instant mawa (khoya).....do check it out .

Lets start cooking ...................
