Carrot Kheer / Indian Carrot Milk Pudding:
Carrot Kheer is different than carrot Halwa or Indian carrot pudding. This dessert is in a liquid form, which mainly includes milk and cooked carrot paste. Yes! I have blended the cooked carrots into a puree and then added them to the boiled milk. So the Kheer will get all the benefits and flavor of carrot, but it will have the smooth, creamy, and soothing texture. And it will make this Kheer fussy-kids friendly.
Behind The Carrot Kheer:
My family loves Kheer, whether it is Rice Kheer or this Paneer Kheer. And now, this Carrot Kheer is a new addition to our favorite Kheer list. I stumbled upon the recipe of Carrot Kheer from one of the cookbooks from the library. I instantly loved the idea and the picture of the recipe. And I decided to give it a try. I made it as per my preferences, and we loved it. And so I decided to share this visually stunning Kheer with you all as well. So this recipe is adapted from the book Pure Vegetarian by Lakshmi Wennakoski-Bielicki. And I have tweaked it as per my style and preferences.
Let’s Find Out What We Need For Carrot 🥕Kheer:
We need very few ingredients for this stunning Carrot Kheer / Indian Carrot Milk Pudding. The must for the recipe is full-fat milk and fresh carrots.
Full-Fat Milk Carrots Sugar Ghee Saffron (Optional) Cardamom Powder Chopped Nuts (Optional)
How To Serve:
Carrot Kheer can be served warm or chilled. But I would highly recommend serving chilled Kheer. So once the Carrot Kheer cools down to room temperature, place it in the fridge for at least a couple of hours. The more it will be chilled, the tastier it will be. We can make this Kheer well ahead of time. It will stay in the refrigerator for up to three days. Serve the Carrot Kheer as a dessert after dinner or during lunch.
How To Make Carrot Kheer / Indian Carrot Milk Pudding with Step by Step Instructions and Pictures:
Heat milk into a large, heavy-bottom pot or a pan and bring to a boil. As soon as it starts boiling, turn the heat on medium, and add saffron strands. Continue boiling milk on moderate heat, stirring it continuously until it reduces by approximately 3 cups. So when you see you have almost 5 cups of milk left, turn the heat on low. Make sure to stir it in intervals. Heat Ghee in a small pan and add shredded carrots. Cook the carrots on medium heat for about 5 minutes or until they are tender and turned into a bright orange color. Now take ⅓ cup of hot milk from the pot you have on low heat, and add it to carrots. Mix well and cook until all the milk is absorbed. Turn off the heat and let the carrot mixture cool down a bit. Then transfer it into a blender jar and blend into a fine puree. The puree should be smooth without any bits of carrots. If your blender doesn’t make a fine puree, you can pass the puree through a fine sieve. Now add this carrot puree into milk cooking on low heat. Mix well and turn the heat on medium; bring the carrot milk again to boil, stirring constantly. Add sugar, cardamom powder, and chopped nuts. Mix well and continue boiling carrot milk for 10 minutes; the milk should be thick and creamy. Remove from the heat and let it cool down completely. Set it in the refrigerator and chill for at least two hours before serving. You can also enjoy this Carrot Kheer warm if you prefer. Carrot Kheer / Indian Carrot Milk Pudding is creamy and visually stunning with super deliciousness. If you like Carrot Halwa, you must try this recipe.
