This Kheer is not only tasty, but also gets the slightly orangish colour because of the addition of the highly nutritive Carrots. I have added very very mild sugar, and because of condensing, milk gets a creamy texture too.
Ingredients
Milk - 12 cups
Grated carrots - 1/2 cup, tightly packed
Roasted Vermicelli / Semiya - 3/4 cup
Sugar - 1 cup
Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp
Ghee - 4tsps
Raisins - 2 tbsps
Saffron 1/4 tsp soaked in warm milk
Recipe Cuisine: South Indian; Recipe Category: Sweets / Desserts
Prep time: 10mts; Cooking time: 45mts
Yields 8-10 cups
Add the 12 cups milk along with the soaked saffron in a pan
When milk starts boiling, add the roasted Vermicelli too.
add the carrots too, allow to boil.
Add the cardamom powder too. I always believe in adding it midway and not at the end.
Milk is condensing well, allowing carrots and vermicelli to get cooked.
Done now, switched off.
Raisins roasted in 2 tsps ghee and added. To keep up with the texture of the soft vermicelli and carrots, I decided not to add Cashews.

Lovely Ms.Mala..I live in the USA and quite recently came upon your blog. Very easy and tasty recipes. Can I make this in the crock pot?
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. Yes, it can be made in the Crock pot. You start boiling the milk in low, add the ghee-sauteed carrots and vermicelli, and allow it to reduce for 4-5 hours, making sure, you check it every hour, and also stir, so that it will not stick at the bottom. After reducing to almost half the quantity, add sugar, then keep in high, keep stirring frequently, and Carrot-Vermicelli Kheer will be ready. Enjoy!
