Carrot Milk/Carrot Kheer

There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner:that,in the dinner,the sweets come last –Robert Louis Stevenson.

Think of Deserts?ummmm my mouth is watering!

There are a lot of restaurants that I like only for their desert section.In Bangalore(India) one such amazing place is ?Frescos? in Cunningham Road. A friend of mine took me there and I fell in love with their deserts. This place has a separate room?yes a room only for deserts:P Variety of deserts are displayed,You gota go there and then make your choice. Once done,they serve it with a great combination of sauce/nuts. The way it is served/presented is a treat for the eyes and makes it all the more tempting.

I?ve always ended up making Halwa?s,Jamuns,pastries or Kheer for deserts.I had enough carrots at home,used a few of them for making Pulao and the rest for making Carrot milk or call it Carrot kheer?.its a rich,tasty and a perfect drink!

As a kid,I hated carrots. Somehow the concept of eating raw vegetables never appealed to me. I know eating raw veggies such as Raddish,Beetroot,Cabbage etc are healthy,but I am not a great fan of it!

Ingredients:

Carrot ? 6
Cardamom powder ? a pinch
Milk ? 3 cups
Sugar ? ? cup(increase it as per ur taste)
Cashew Powder ? 2tbsp(Plain Cashews coarsely grounded)
Cream ? ? cup

Method:-

1.Peel the carrots ,pressure cook/boil them in water until soft and grind to a fine paste.
2.Bring milk to boil,add the carrot paste,sugar and cardamom powder.
3. Add Cashewnut powder &allow it to boil for about 8-10mins,stirring it occasionally.
4. The milk would thicken a li?l,add the cream and switch of the flame.
Serve it hot/cold.

Personally I like it cold. You can also add chopped Pistachios/Almond or even Kesar.P has a very sweet tooth,so I always make it extra sweet.You can increase/decrease based on your liking.
