Ingredients

• Carrot - 250 gram

• Milk -1 liter
• Cardamon - 5
• Condensed milk (optional) -2 table spoon

Cooking

• Heat ghee in a thick bottom pan, fry nuts and keep aside
• Add carrot to the same pan and saute in ghee for 3-4 min.
• Add milk to the carrot and bring to boil
• Simmer the hear and allow the milk-carrot to reduce to 3/4th of its original volume.
• Add sugar, cardamon powder, condensed milk
• When the sugar dissolves, remove from fire.
• Garnish with nuts and serve

Notes

• Taste for your preference level of sweetness before removing from fire (add sugar to increase sweetness or add milk to reduce)
• An interesting variation of this is replacing milk with coconut extraction completely or partially
• Try replacing 1/4 of sugar with jaggery
• You can grind 1/4 of cooked carrot and to milk, which gives a rich orange colour
