Payasam--------Carrot Kheer (Mangalore style)


Carrot kheer name itself tells its ingredients.As carrot is rich in vitamin A  and i use almond along with it, combination gives you very rich , tasty,easy and healthy kheer or milkshake whatever way you want to present.
It can be serve as dessert as payasam/kheer or can be served chilled as milk shake in hot summer also served during special occasion as prasadam.Those who doesn't like carrot also likes its taste,also very good way of giving carrots to kids .
I learned this from my Mother-in -law and  also my co-sister prepares this dish very tasty.Few days back as a Sunday special i prepared this dish and everybody liked it.

Servings: for 4 person

Ingredients:

6-8 carrots
1 litre/4 cups milk
20 count almonds soaked in 1/4 cup milk
1 tbsp dry fruits like almond,cashews,raisins and pistachio
2 cup sugar
1 tsp cardamon powder

Method:

Soak almond in milk for at least 1 hour.make them little warm and then remove skin of the almonds.
Grind these almonds in blender along with that(1/4 cup) milk into smooth paste.

Wash,clean and peel carrots.cut into big pieces and cook this in pressure cooker or microwave.
Ground these too in blender.

Take a pan bring milk to boil ,then add sugar and stir continuously for 3-4 minutes so that sugar dissolves completely.If you are making kheer let this simmer for 10 more minutes till volume of milk reduces.If your making milk shake one boil is enough.

Add carrot and almond paste and stir them properly.let them simmer for 5 more minutes stirring in between.
Finally add cardamon powder,dry fruits and mix them nicely.If serving as milk shake after it is cooled off put this in fridge for 3-4 hours before serving.

Bring the kheer to 2-3 boil and switch of the flame.
Serve hot as dessert or serve chilled as milk shake both ways tastes awesome.
