做法
- 胡萝卜洗净去皮,在擦丝器粗孔一面擦丝——粗丝才有合适的口感。
- 宽口厚底锅中火热 30 克酥油。下胡萝卜丝煸 8 分钟,边搅边炒,直到颜色加深、胡萝卜出水。
- 倒入牛奶。煮至小开后转中小火炖 60 分钟,每 5 分钟搅一次以免糊底。牛奶逐渐被胡萝卜吸尽,颜色由橙转砖红。
- 下糖搅至溶化。糖溶化时胡萝卜还会再出水;再煮 15 分钟至几乎收干。
- 把剩下的 70 克酥油分次加入,搅拌——糕会变得油亮,酥油浮在边缘。下 khoya 搅匀。
- 拌入小豆蔻粉、藏红花、一半杏仁片、一半开心果与葡萄干。再煮 5 分钟。质地应当致密、糕状、近乎干性,每口都能咬到完整的胡萝卜丝。装盘,撒上剩下的坚果。温热配一勺香草冰淇淋是当代巴基斯坦的吃法;经典的就只是温吃。

文化背景
Gajrela 是巴基斯坦旁遮普的冬日食物——红胡萝卜的当季在 11 月至 2 月,这段时间是 gajrela 的巅峰。这道菜与婚礼、冬日聚餐紧密相关,也是冬天去阿姨家时她会做给你的那道菜。巴基斯坦版比印度的 gajar ka halwa 更稠更甜,各有所长。慢炖是关键;任何现代捷径(电压力锅、快煮)都不会带来牛奶与胡萝卜慢慢交融的那种灵魂感。
