Healthy Carrot Kheer a Refreshing and Revitalizing Drink 

INGREDIENTS: 

Medium sized fat carrots - 3

Full cream milk powder - 1 cup
Boiling water - 5 cups

Raw almonds - 10 pieces

Brown sugar to taste

Cardamom - 5 pods

A pinch of saffron (optional) 

METHOD:

1. Peel the skin of the carrots and wash thoroughly. Chop roughly.

2. Set deep bottom pan with enough water to submerge the chopped carrots. Boil the carrots with 3 cardamom pods which I have just scrapped seeds inside leaving out the skin. This adds nice aroma to the carrot at this stage.

3. Insert a fork to the carrot to check whether it has become nice and soft. Now when it is ready to go, place them in a jar and give a blend to form smooth orange colored paste.
