Carrot Kheer

Think of an Indian dessert made from carrot and the first thing that comes to one's mind is 'Gajar ka Halwa'. But there are many more equally delicious desserts made from carrot. Today I am giving you the recipe of Carrot Kheer. When served with ice-cream, it goes very well as a fusion dessert.

    It's Holi tomorrow. So instead of normal Thandai, try this carrot kheer and I am pretty sure that it will be a big hit. 

Ingredients and Recipe-

4 Carrots, washed, peeled and grated

Ghee (Clarified Butter) 1tsp

Milk 1/2 litre

Sugar 1/4 cup

Cardamom powder 1/2tsp

Nuts for garnishing

1) Take the milk in a heavy bottomed pan and keep it to boil. We are reducing the milk a little. Not as much as Rabdi though.

2)In another pan, take the ghee and add grated carrot to it, saute' , cover and let it cook for 3-4 minutes.

3)Once the grated carrot is steamed, add it to the milk and let it cook.

4) The carrot should get cooked completely in the milk so that the milk absorbs all the flavours from it.

5)Now add the sugar and let it boil for further 8-10 minutes.

6) Finally add the cardamom powder.

         Serve chilled in the tall glasses with a scoop of ice -cream and garnished with lots of nuts and I am sure, it will take you to a totally different World!!!

         Happy Holi to all of you!!!!
