Very tempting Carrot kheer or carrot payasam recipe.this can be offered as naivedyam to God on festivals like Navratri and Diwali.
This is the best ever kheer recipe that I had.fortunately I got some fresh and sweet carrots and I thought to make a recipe with them and made this super delicious gajar kheer. I have used sweetened condensed milk so I have added only 1 tbsp of sugar to adjust the sweetness.if you are using unsweetened condensed milk add the sugar according to your taste.
chilled carrot payasam tastes really amazing than the hot payasam.try and enjoy this healthy and tasty recipe.Happy Dussehra….. 🙂
