After committing a horrendous crime of 'Mango Messenger', I never tried any sweet dish again. However, I did wanted पाप धोना of that memory. So I decided to take charge of हमारा आपका सबका दुलारा गाजर का हलवा.
When you see different videos of same recipes or read about them, it just accumulates more AMUL Dahi in your mind rather than clarifying that recipe. Now by experience, I have achieved Nirvana on this problem. I simply take tips from all those videos, check what is available with me at home or what can be easily brought from outside, what steps are less time consuming and which can make me more famous easily 
So that's what I did to surprise my wife as it had been 4.5 months that she hadn't tasted any tasty (?) food prepared from my hand.
Recipe:
- Take mediumly built 4-5 carrots. Avoid those 'Salman Khans' as वो बादमें पकनेमे बहुत दिमाग खाते है यार.
- The main ingredient of Gajar Ka Halwa is Khoya. I avoided Khoya as I still remembered in the past मैने कैसे Mango Messenger खोया
So I thought lets experiment it by basic ingredient Sugar. If this goes well then next time I can fly along with Khoya.
- After peeling the carrots, grate them. Then transfer the grated maal in a pan on an ignited Gas.
- Add 1-2 Tablespoon Ghee. Pour 400-500 gms of Sugar.
- Keep on stirring the mixture till the grated carrots soften and gradually change their colour from red to orange and till your forehead generates litres of sweat.
- Salt is not needed in this recipe, so avoid those dripping sweat droplets falling in the pan. It's not a part of this recipe, you may use it somewhere else!!
- Add finely grinded cardamom seeds (Elaichi) and thinly chopped pieces of cashew to this mixture and keep stirring.
- Ensure that the cashew pieces become soft and well mixed in the mixture. You may put raisins too.
- I also added couple of droplets of Rose essence to give a professional taste as mentioned on some website.
- Once this is done, let the halwa get cooled. Then you may garnish it with the remains of (if any) finely chopped cashews.

I followed the above method of garnishing. However, the rawness and toughness of cashew didn't serve the purpose of garnishing.
Being the 1st attempt, it was nicely done with Sugar which gave me positive hopes that next time I can surely play around with Khoya.
Shared the Gajar Ka Halwa with my in-laws as well as with my team mates in office so that both should feel that 'जमाई कामका है/बॉस कामका है' respectively 
Got some good tips from both the sources which I shall keep in mind for my 2nd attempt along with Khoya.
