Everyone has their style of preparing carrot kheer. Some people grind carrots and then cook in milk. But I prepare it in a simple and easy way. First, I grate and saute carrots in ghee and then cook them in milk, adding sugar and flavoring with green cardamom powder.

Ingredients:-

Carrots: I use two medium fresh seasonal carrots. Always use fresh and juicy red carrots.

Milk: I use full-fat cow milk here. Using full-fat milk gives more creamy texture to the kheer.

Sugar: I use regular white sugar. But you can also use jaggery. If you want to add jaggery, then add it when the carrot kheer is cooked.

Dry fruits: I use only almonds for this recipe. But you can add more like cashews, raisins, or pistachio according to your choice.

Green cardamom powder: I use green cardamom powder for a more aromatic flavor to the kheer.
