Carrot kheer recipe / Carrot payasam recipe – No need to wait for special occasions or festive season to make payasam. We can make any time to relish this easy and vitamin A rich drink. Carrot payasam is very light to have after a meal. I used coconut milk as I always love that taste and it is homemade coconut milk. If using store-bought one, go for good quality.
How to make carrot kheer recipe:
- Peel carrot outer skin, wash and cut into pieces. Cook the chopped carrots in enough water for 10 minutes or until becomes soften.
- Once it gets cooked, cool completely and grind in a mixer to a fine paste.
- Meanwhile, soak powdered jaggery in ½ cup water for 10 minutes and drain in the filter to remove impurities.
- Shred coconut and grind to extract milk. Take thick and thin milk separately.
- In a sauce pan, add thin coconut milk, grounded carrot, drained jaggery syrup and keep in low flame.
- No need to boil the kheer, it must be in low flame and stir in between using a ladle. Once the steam comes on sides, turn off the flame. Add thick coconut milk to it and mix well.
- Roast the cashews in 1 tbsp ghee and add to it. Add salt and cardamom powder and mix well.
- Serve the kheer in glasses as hot or cold.
Notes:
- You can make this carrot payasam recipe using dairy milk instead of coconut milk.
- Also, you can use sugar in place of jaggery.
- Do not boil the kheer as it will curdle the payasam. Simply heat it in low flame and turn off once the steam comes on sides.
