Today we will make carrot kheer, which tastes even better than carrot halwa. This delightful dessert combines the sweetness of carrots with the richness of milk and dry fruits. It's a perfect treat for any occasion, and the process is simple and rewarding. Serve it hot and enjoy the flavors of this traditional Indian sweet dish.
Chefadora AI has the answer - timers, swaps, step-by-step help.
Grate the carrots and soak four tablespoons of rice in water for 10 minutes.
Add ghee to a pan and fry some dry fruits until golden. Remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add ghee and sauté the grated carrots for 2-3 minutes.
Add milk to the pan and cook the carrots until they soften. Stir occasionally.
Add the soaked rice and cook until the rice is fully cooked and the mixture thickens.
Mix in sugar, cardamom powder, and the fried dry fruits. Stir well and cook for a few more minutes.
Serve the carrot kheer hot and garnish with additional dry fruits if desired.
Ensure the rice is soaked properly to cook faster and blend well with the kheer.
Use fresh carrots for a sweeter and richer flavor.
Adjust the sugar quantity based on your sweetness preference.
You can refrigerate the kheer and serve it chilled for a different experience.
Can I use condensed milk instead of regular milk?
Yes, you can use condensed milk for a richer and creamier texture, but adjust the sugar quantity accordingly.
Can I make this kheer vegan?
Yes, you can substitute regular milk with almond milk or coconut milk and use vegan butter instead of ghee.
How long can I store carrot kheer?
Carrot kheer can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat before serving.
Can I skip the dry fruits?
Yes, you can skip the dry fruits, but they add a nice crunch and richness to the kheer.
What type of rice is best for kheer?
Short-grain rice like basmati or any fragrant rice works best for kheer as it blends well and enhances the flavor.
