Directions

  1. First, finely grate the carrots, or use a grater to do so. ≈ 8 min
  2. In a saucepan, heat the milk until it thickens slightly, then remove it from the heat.
  3. In a separate container, lightly sauté the carrots in some fat to remove their strong odor.
  4. Once the carrots are slightly tender, gradually add the warm milk and continue to stir. ≈ 4 min
  5. However, please remember that this recipe should be cooked over low heat, otherwise there is a risk that the bottom will burn.

  7. Taste to check if the mixture is sweet enough. ≈ 2 min
  8. Once the dough is completely smooth, mix it with yogurt and ground cinnamon. ≈ 4 min
  9. When the color turns slightly brownish and the consistency thickens, remove it from the heat.
  10. Before serving, you can add a very small amount of ghee (clarified butter) on top. ≈ 2 min
  11. The dessert is ready. ≈ 3 min
  12. However, it is best enjoyed cold, rather than hot. ≈ 3 min
