Ingredients

Servings
  • 5 cup carrot about 6-7, grated
  • 2 tbsp ghee or unsalted butter
  • 1.5 cup milk whole
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/2 cup cashews chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat a pan over medium heat. 
  2. Melt unsalted butter in the pan. 
  3. Once the butter is melted, add the carrot and cook until extra water is evaporated. 
  4. Add in milk and cook until it's thick, creamy and there's no extra liquid. 
  5. 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. 
  6. 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  • The recipe is originally made with ghee, but if ghee is not available, use unsalted butter.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.
