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.

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.

The addition of chopped almonds give a nutty texture, cardamom lends a fragrant to the carrot kheer and the garnished coconut add some crunch.
