Ingredients




3 mediums sized carrots
3/4 liter of milk
Sugar to taste
1/4 cup Milkmaid or 2 tbsp of almond powder
Roasted cashews
6 saffron flakes

Preparation

1 Wash and peel carrots, then cut into small chunks 2 Place carrots in a pressure cooker or saucepan and boil until soft.   3 Once carrots have cooled down, grind into a fine paste with the milk. 4 Bring the paste to a boil; add more milk if necessary until it is a smooth but not runny consistency. Add sugar to taste. 5 And for the flavor I added a little bit of milkmaid (quarter cup). You can add 2 tbsp of almond powder also as an alternative. 6 Bring to a boil again and add roasted cashews. 7 Mix a few threads of saffron with one teaspoon of hot water, then add to the carrot mixture. 8 Serve chilled.

About


Carrot is one of the tastiest and healthiest vegetables of all. It does have an advantage over our eyesight. It is probably one of the vegetables that is used for making sweets too. Who can forget the splendid halwa made out of it?
I tried carrot kheer on my own taking help from my mother. It’s not a new sweet. I presume many of you might have had it quite a number of times.
