Peel and cut the carrot into pieces. Transfer to a mixer jar and grind to a fine paste by adding 1/2 cup of milk.
Heat a pan and add ghee. Then add the ground carrot paste and sauté for 5 minutes on medium to low flame.
Add 1/2 cup of sugar and mix well. When the sugar dissolves completely, add 1/2 cup of milk.
Mix and add the semolina/rava. Cook until it becomes thick and non-sticky. Let it cool down completely.
After cooling, make small gooseberry-sized balls. Steam the carrot balls for 5 minutes, then let them cool down completely and set aside.
Make corn flour slurry by mixing 1 tbsp corn flour with a little milk. Set aside.
In a pressure cooker, add 1/2 L milk and 3/4 cup sugar. Boil on medium to high flame until it starts bubbling.
Turn the flame low, close the lid, and put the whistle on it. Keep the flame very low, ensuring the whistle does not make a sound. Boil for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, turn off the flame and let the pressure release completely. Open the lid; the milk should be light brown.
Add butter and boil again. Then add steamed carrot balls and cardamom powder. Allow to boil for 5 minutes on medium flame.
Add corn flour slurry and stir continuously to avoid lumps. When the milk thickens slightly, turn off the flame.
Ensure the carrot paste is finely ground for a smooth texture.
Cook the semolina mixture until it is thick and non-sticky to form perfect balls.
Boil the milk mixture on low flame to achieve the desired consistency without burning.
