3. In a pan add 2 tbsp of ghee and fry the carrot till its reduced and cooked.

4. Now add in the milk then ground paste and mix well.
5. Once the milk started boiling reduce the flame to simmer and in a small pan add ghee & fry the cashew , raisins and pour it .

Notes:

• I used ginger garlic grater which was very fine.
• you can also add cashew while grinding the alomnds.
• Make it watery by adding 1/2 cup water to make kheer.
• Make it thick if you are serving as a payasam.
• No need to add any additional color as the carrot itself gives nice orange color.
