Ingredients:
1 kg carrots
1.5 litres milk
1 bowl dry fruits (chopped)
3-4 finely crushed cardamom
2 tbsp ghee
1 cup sugar (or to taste)
Method:
Wash, peel an grate the carrots. Grated carrots leave a lot of water, to reduce the cooking time it is advisable to squeeze as much excess water as possible. Put carrots in a heavy bottom pan. Cook on medium heat till all the water vapourizes and the colour of carrots turns deeper red. Add ghee and cook for about 25-30 minutes on low heat. It will ensure that carrots get their right flavour. Once the little fargments ghee starts to show, add milk. Cook on medium to low heat till the milk vapourizes and what is left is more like condensed milk or mawa. Add Sugar and cook till it gets dissolved. Now add cardamom an dry fruits. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Tip: You can directly use khoya/ mawa instead of milk. It reduces the cooking time to half but the taste of final product will be different depending on what we have opted to use.
