Cookd masalas for carrot
Method
Toast the grated coconut in a pan for 5-7 minutes on low heat until golden. In a Kadhai, heat the ghee and add the grated Carrots, saute the carrots until they soften, about 5-7 minutes on a medium flame. Add the milk with the crushed cardamom and continue cooking until the carrots absorb the milk for about 12-15 minutes on low heat.
Mix and cook till the sugar melts and the mixture becomes sticky and the milk is completely absorbed for another 10 minutes on low heat, and add in the freshly grated coconut. Mix well.
Lastly, add in the chopped dry fruits and cook it for another 1-2 minutes. Let it cool completely before forming the ladoos and enjoy!
