Ingredients
- 5 cup grated carrots about 6-7
- 2 tbsp ghee or unsalted butter
- 1.5 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/2 cup cashews chopped
Instructions
- Heat a pan over medium heat.
- Melt unsalted butter in the pan.
- Once the butter is melted, add the carrot and cook until extra water is evaporated.
- Add in milk and cook until it's thick, creamy and there's no extra liquid.
- Add in sugar and cardamom and cook for another 15 to 20 minutes until it all comes together and has a thicker consistency than pudding.
- Serve warm or cold and top with chopped cashews.
Notes
- The recipe is originally made with ghee, but if ghee is not available, use unsalted butter.
- You can use evaporated milk instead of whole milk, the result would be quite similar.
- Make sure the carrots you use are juicy and not dense.
- The cashews used in this recipe should be roasted and unsalted. If using raw cashews, roast them in a pan over medium heat for about 5 to 10 minutes until they're golden brown and crunchy.
