Carrot kheer is a nutritious and delicious Indian dessert
that can be easily made at home. The addition of milk and carrots makes this
dessert very nutritious. The milk gets richer and creamier and combines
with the carrot purée bringing out a sweet and delightful dish. It is very
simple to make and it is quite a relishing treat both children and adults will
love it. This kheer can be enjoyed either hot or cold.This dessert is my family's favorite dish.
