While carrot halwa is a winter favorite, food enthusiasts can now try something uniquely delicious — Carrot Rice Kheer. Renowned food expert Bharat has shared a simple recipe that promises a creamy, flavorful, and aromatic dessert, perfect for the season.

Why Try Carrot Rice Kheer
This dessert not only retains the nutritional goodness of carrots but also brings a rich texture and fragrance that will make everyone savor every spoonful. Chef Bharat claims that if you don’t try this recipe this season, you’ll surely regret it!

Preparation & Secret Ingredients
Start by soaking 1/4 cup small-grain rice in water. Similarly, soak 10-12 cashews separately. Crush 8 green cardamom pods, keeping the husks aside, and grind the seeds into a fine powder for the kheer. Chop or prepare your choice of dry fruits such as almonds, pistachios, and raisins. These ingredients will help enhance both the flavor and richness of the kheer.

Grating and Roasting Carrots
Peel and wash 400 grams of carrots, then grate them evenly. Roast the grated carrots in ghee over high heat until they lose rawness and moisture. Proper roasting ensures that the kheer absorbs the sweetness and aroma of carrots perfectly.

Cooking with Milk and Rice
Use full-fat milk for a creamy texture. Add the milk to the roasted carrots, reserving a small portion to prevent sticking. Once the milk comes to a boil, gradually add the soaked rice. Remove the cream forming at the edges and fold it back into the mixture for extra richness.

The Secret to Thick Kheer
Cook the rice for 6-7 minutes. To achieve extra thickness, reserve a spoonful of soaked rice. Grind it with the soaked cashews and a little water to make a smooth paste, then add it to the kheer. The paste instantly thickens the dessert, giving it a luxurious consistency.

Finishing Touches
Balance the thickness with the reserved milk and sugar. Add chopped dry fruits and sprinkle the cardamom powder, then cover immediately to lock in the fragrance. Your rich and aromatic Carrot Rice Kheer is now ready to serve!
