Orange Carrot Kheer Recipeee

Orange Carrot Kheer sounds like a delightful fusion dessert! Here’s a simple recipe for you:

Ingredients:

• 2 medium-sized carrots, peeled and grated
• 2 oranges, juiced
• 1 liter of full-fat milk
• 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
• 4-5 green cardamom pods, crushed
• 2 tablespoons of chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios)
• 1 tablespoon of raisins
• A pinch of saffron strands (optional)
• A few strands of orange zest for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preparation: Grate the carrots and keep aside. Extract the juice from the oranges. Crush the cardamom pods and chop the nuts. Soak the saffron strands in a tablespoon of warm milk.

2. Cooking Carrots: Heat a tablespoon of ghee or butter in a heavy-bottomed pan. Add the grated carrots and sauté for 4-5 minutes on medium heat until they become soft and the raw smell disappears.

3. Preparing Milk Mixture: In another pan, pour the milk and bring it to a boil. Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer. Keep stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.

4. Combining Ingredients: Once the carrots are cooked, add the boiled milk to the pan with carrots. Mix well and let it simmer for another 10-15 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

5. Sweetening: Add sugar according to your taste preferences and mix well. Let it cook for another 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves completely.

6. Flavoring: Add the orange juice, crushed cardamom pods, chopped nuts, and raisins to the mixture. Stir well and let it simmer for a few more minutes.

7. Finishing Touches: If using saffron, add the soaked saffron strands along with the milk. Mix well. Turn off the heat and let the kheer cool down to room temperature.

8. Serving: Once cooled, transfer the Orange Carrot Kheer to serving bowls. Garnish with a few strands of orange zest for an extra burst of flavor.

9. Chilling (optional): You can refrigerate the kheer for a couple of hours if you prefer it chilled before serving.
