In today’s dessert I have decided to use carrots and phool makhana, both ingredients are very healthy, only if eaten on their own,but when cooked in heavy cream and sugar it only becomes a sinful dessert, which I don’t mind to indulge in You will need:-
3 cup milk 1 cup cream 50 g rice ( I used basmati rice ) 1 medium carrots peeled and grated 1/4 cup crushed fox nuts ( you can use whole too ) 1/2 cup sugar 1-2 tbsp kewra or rose water 3-4 tbsp chopped pistachio 1/2 tsp crushed cardamom seeds 1/4 tsp nutmeg powder 1 tbsp ghee
Method:- Wash rice in cold water and leave it aside to soak in little water for half an hour. Heat ghee in a heavy bottom pan or non stick pan on a medium heat. Add grated carrots and fry for 3-4 minutes. Now add crushed makhana and fry for 3-4 minutes with carrots. Pour the milk and let come to a boil, lower the heat. Drain the water from the rice and add into milk. Add the sugar. Stir and simmer the kheer till rice if fully cooked mixture gets thicken. Pour cream and cook further 2-3 minutes. Turn of the heat. Add crushed cardamom and nutmeg powder. Let it cool a bit, add kewra water. Serve in a serving bowl, garnish with chopped pistachio.
