1
Heat ghee and lightly fry the nuts and the raisins in it. Remove and keep aside. Add the carrots in the remaining ghee and stir till the carrots smell fragrant.
2
Now add the sugar and let it melt. Cook this on low flame till all the liquid evaporates and the carrots are well cooked.
3
Add powdered cardamoms and cinamon. Finish off with the nuts, raisins and crumbled khoya. This is best eaten hot, but tastes equally good in room temperature.
