Method
- Start by transferring the chopped carrots to a thick bottom pan along with the milk and start cooking on medium flame.
- Cover and cook the carrots till they are soft and mushy, and the milk is almost evaporated.
- Do not dry up the milk completely as this would make the carrots too dry.
- Let the carrots cool to room temperature.
- While the carrots are cooling, let us prepare the sugar syrup.
- In a pan add the sugar along with just enough water to cover the sugar.
- Boil this only till the sugar is completely dissolved. At this time turn off the flame & set it aside.
- Now grind the carrots to a fine paste.
- In a pan add the ghee on medium flame.
- Once the ghee melts transfer the carrot paste to the pan.
- Cook the mix for about 10-15 min and then add in the sugar syrup and mix well.
- Continue cooking till you see ghee oozing out and the carrot mix leaving the sides of the pan and coming together.
- Then add the melon seeds and mix well.
- Garnish with nuts and serve warm.
