  • 4 Tbsp sugar(you can adjust this to your wish)
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
  • Nuts,raisins for garnishing
HOW TO MAKE
  • Take a microwave safe bowl and add ghee to it.microwave ghee at 100% power for 30 seconds.
  • Add the grated carrots to the bowl and mix well with the ghee.Now again microwave at 100% power for about five minutes.(Note:make sure you keep checking every 60 seconds and stir mix the carrots in between )
  • Now add milk ,condensed milk and sugar and mix well.Microwave at high power for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture is thick or until all the milk is evaporated.Make sure you keep stirring in between the process.
