Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized Carrots
• 3 cups Whole milk
• 1/2 cup Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 2 tablespoons Chopped nuts (almonds, pistachios, or cashews)
• 2 tablespoons Raisins
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• 1 tablespoon Water (to dissolve cornstarch)

Directions

Step 1

Wash, peel, and grate the carrots using a fine grater. Set them aside.

Step 2

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the unsalted butter over medium heat until melted.

Step 3

Add the grated carrots to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are slightly softened and their raw smell fades.

Step 4

Pour in the whole milk and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes until the milk reduces and thickens. The carrots should be fully cooked and well incorporated into the milk.

Step 5

Stir in the sugar and cardamom powder, and cook for another 5 minutes, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 6

If you prefer a thicker pudding, dissolve the cornstarch in the water and add it to the pudding while stirring. Cook for 2-3 additional minutes until the mixture thickens further.

Step 7

In a small skillet, toast the chopped nuts and raisins for 1-2 minutes over low heat until fragrant. Add them to the pudding and mix well.

Step 8

Remove the pudding from the heat and let it cool slightly. Serve warm or chilled, garnished with additional nuts if desired.
