Carrot kheer
Kheer is something, which I guess everybody loves and relishes. One of my mom’s friends {whose kids love anything that is sweet ;) } makes it with carrots so that it is tasty as well as nutritious. Whenever I used to visit them, she made sure that she prepared this, coz, I used to love this kheer of hers. Have it for dessert or just drink it whenever you want something cool. It's delicious.
Time taken: 30 to 40 minutes (another 30 minutes extra if you want to cool it in the fridge)
Serves about 4 people

Ingredients used:
500 grams carrots cut into big chunks
½ cup of cashew nuts
500ml of milk
Sugar for sweetness (depends on how sweet you want)
I tsp cardamom powder (elaichi)
Handful of chopped almonds
1 Tsp ghee
½ cup of cashew nuts
500ml of milk
Sugar for sweetness (depends on how sweet you want)
I tsp cardamom powder (elaichi)
Handful of chopped almonds
1 Tsp ghee
Method of preparation:
In a pressure cooker, add the carrots, half the amount of milk and cashew nuts and pressure cook on medium flame. After 1 whistle, switch off the flame. Wait till the cooker can be opened and pour the ingredients in a wide bottomed bowl to cool. Once it cools down, grind it in a mixer. Pour this into a vessel and place it on a low flame, add the remaining milk, sugar and keep on stirring till it starts boiling. Once its starts boiling, add the cardamom powder, mix and switch off. In a small kadai, add the ghee and fry the almonds till it turns a bit brownish. Now add this to the carrot kheer. The carrot kheer is ready. It can be savoured hot but it also tastes good when it is chilled. So wait till it comes down to room temperature and chill it in the fridge and enjoy.
