Take ½ kg of carrots and wash them thoroughly and peel them. Grate them finely and keep aside. Take a handful of almonds, cashews and pistachios and dry roast them in ghee till they turn golden and keep it aside.

Step 2

In a pan, take 2 cups of milk and bring it to a boil. Add the grated carrots and keep stirring continuously to avoid burning the milk. Cook this on medium heat till the carrots have absorbed all the milk.
