Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare Carrots

   Wash, peel, and grate 500 grams of fresh carrots. Set aside.

2. 2.Prepare Rice Paste

   Take 1/4 cup of pre-soaked rice and blend it with some milk to create a smooth, silky paste.

3. 3.Roast Dry Fruits

   Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a kadhai. Add 1/4 cup chopped almonds, 1 teaspoon kalonji seeds, 1/4 cup chopped cashews, and 1/4 cup black raisins. Roast until the nuts turn lightly golden and a warm, nutty aroma fills the kitchen.

4. 4.Cook Carrots

   Add the grated carrots to the kadhai with the roasted dry fruits. Toss and cook until the carrots turn soft and glossy.

5. 5.Simmer Kheer Base

   Pour in 1 liter of milk along with the blended rice mixture. Keep stirring as it simmers and slowly thickens into a creamy base.

6. 6.Add Sweetness and Flavor

   Once the kheer is creamy and rich, add 1/2 cup of sugar and let it melt completely. Continue stirring to avoid any lumps or burning at the bottom. For extra flavor, you may add 1/2 teaspoon of cardamom powder (optional).

7. 7.Serve Carrot Kheer

   Garnish the kheer with pistachio slivers. Serve this beautiful kheer hot or chilled.
