Carrot Kheer (Navratri Special)
Red carrots work best but you can use the orange ones too. I used the orange ones as I could not find the red carrots at my local farmer’s market. Use of whole milk and sweetened condensed milk yields a rich kheer.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups low fat milk, boil till it reaches 1 1/2 cups
- 1 cup grated carrot
- 4 tbsps sugar (adjust)
- 1/2 tsp cardamom pwd
- pinch of saffron, mix with 2 tsps milk
- 5-6 cashew nuts/almonds, toasted in ghee
- 10-12 raisins, toasted in ghee
- 2 tbsps ghee
- You can substitute low fat milk with whole milk. Add 1-2 tbsps sweetened condensed milk towards the end of the cooking process for a richer taste.
