Directions
- First, finely grate the carrots, or use a grater to do so. ≈ 8 min
- In a saucepan, heat the milk until it thickens slightly, then remove it from the heat.
- In a separate container, lightly sauté the carrots in some fat to remove their strong odor.
- Once the carrots are slightly tender, gradually add the warm milk and continue to stir. ≈ 4 min
- However, please remember that this recipe should be cooked over low heat, otherwise there is a risk that the bottom will burn.
- When the carrots start to soften, add sugar and small pieces of dried fruit, then mix gently. ≈ 4 min
- Taste to check if the mixture is sweet enough. ≈ 2 min
- Once the dough is completely smooth, mix it with yogurt and ground cinnamon. ≈ 4 min
- When the color turns slightly brownish and the consistency thickens, remove it from the heat.
- Before serving, you can add a very small amount of ghee (clarified butter) on top. ≈ 2 min
- The dessert is ready. ≈ 3 min
- However, it is best enjoyed cold, rather than hot. ≈ 3 min
- Therefore, you can store it in the refrigerator or at room temperature to allow it to cool down.
- Distribute the remaining dried fruits on top and serve about an hour later. ≈ 2 min
