CARROT KHEER

Iv been wanting to make this recipe for a month now….finally did it!! yay!… Carrot kheer has become quite popular these days…….A lovely, refreshing dessert……….A perfect dessert for entertaining guests. We can make it in 2 ways depending on your taste………………either have the smooth creamy texture OR have bits of soft grated carrot in your kheer! I like the latter! what’s your’s?

2 medium carrots, grated
8-10 cashewnuts
8-10 raisins
3 tbsp ghee
4-5 cardamom pods, crushed
750 ml milk
1/4 cup sugar

•   Put 1 tbsp ghee in a saucepan and fry the cashewnuts and raisins and keep aside.
• Now in a pressure cooker add the remaining ghee and fry the carrots on low heat for a few minutes till the raw smell goes.
• Add about half the milk, stir and close the pressure cooker. ( just 1 whistle or till the carrots are soft)
• Remove the lid and stir on low flame
• Add the sugar and remaining milk and keep stirring  till the sugar dissolves and the kheer is of desired consistency.
• Add the cashews, raisins and the cardamom. Remove from flame
