Carrot kheer is an easy and delicious sweet dessert of Indian cousine. This carrot kheer is made with healthy carrots and milk. This kheer is a winter speciality as carrots are abundantly available during the winter months. Kheer recipes made with rice or sewaiyan are very common dessert served in Indian cuisine but this kheer recipe is unique and healthy.

For this kheer use fresh and red coloured carrots as they will give a perfect and nice texture to kheer. Carrot kheer or Gajar ki kheer is very nutritious and healthy. Carrots are crunchy, tasty, and highly nutritious. They are a particularly good source of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants. They're a weight-loss-friendly food and have been linked to lower cholesterol levels and improved eye health.

Here are a few variations to gajar ki kheer preparation. For making this kheer you can either grate carrots or blend to a smooth puree. In this carrot kheer recipe that I am posting today, carrots are grated and simmered in milk and sugar. We can adjust the consistency of the kheer according to our preference. The addition of chopped almonds give a nutty texture, cardamom lends a fragrant to the carrot kheer and the garnished coconut add some crunch. This is a perfect dessert for New Year Eve that is indulgent and satisfying. You can serve this during fast (Vrat) or any special occasion.
