Carrot Kheer

Hurry it’s my 100^th post. Yep I planned to post a sweet for my 100^th post, for our Friday get together I planned this carrot kheer in last minute. One of my friends also did the same and unfortunately we didn’t discuss about dessert. At last we end up with two carrot kheers with different versions, finally I finished it yesterday. Thought to post this yesterday but it was a long day for me and I was totally drained, with full energy blogging today. Coming back to the dessert it’s a simple and very quick dessert can be prepared in half an hour time.

Ingredients:

Milk	4 cups
Carrot	3 big
Condensed milk / Milkmaid	¼ cup
Sugar	¼ cup
Cardamom powder	½ tsp
Cashew nut	1 Tbsp
Raisins	1 Tbsp
Ghee	2 tsp

 

Direction:

1. Peel the carrot and cut into cubes and pressure cook for 1 whistle with little water (you can steam it for 10- 12 minutes too).
2. Allow it to cool and grind to paste. I got 1 cup thick pure.
3. Meantime boil the milk in heavy bottomed vessel and reduce to 3 cups. Now add the carrot pure, sugar and condensed milk and mix well.
4. Wait for it to boil once, roast cashew nut and raisin in ghee and add to kheer with cardamom powder.
5. Mix well and turn off the stove. Serve warm or cold.

Note:

Sugar will be mild, if your sweet toothed you might need more.

 

Carrot Halwa

This is one of the easy desserts, my mom use to make this when I am little but as I grew up I didn’t show much interest in this, even she use to do beetroot halwa need to try next time. My kids love carrot, usually when I am shredding they use to eat a lot, I tried this last week for a get together. But I didn’t work for my kids my friends son liked it.

Ingredients:

Carrot Shredded	1 ½ cups
Milk	1 ½ cups
Water	½ cup
Sugar	½ cup
Cashew nut	1 Tbsp
Raisin	½ Tbsp
Ghee	2 Tbsp
Cardamom powder	¼ tsp

 

 

Direction:

1. Heat ghee, add cashew roast a minute and add raisin, when it turn golden brown add carrot fry for few minutes.
2. Once carrot turns soft add milk and water cook until ¾ of the liquid is evaporated (keep stirring frequently).
3. In this stage add sugar and cook until moisture evaporates and ghee starts to ooze’s out.
4. Add cardamom powder and turn off the stove.

 

Note: You can substitute milk with water too. When adding milk it enhances the taste.

Cardamom is optional this halwa has its unique flavor.
