Carrot Kheer

This is the first dessert I am posting in these 3 months. Rarely do I prepare sweets because of the accompanying calories with it. But once in a while it is ok to indulge in this. This kheer can be prepared in 10 minutes. It not only takes less time but also tastes yummy. This can be served hot or cold though I love it cold. It tastes great when taken cold.Today let us learn how to prepare carrot kheer following this very easy and delicious recipe.
