Carrot Sago Kheer

Saw this yummilicious kheer on prema's blog, as today being varalakshmi viratam, i planned to make this as a offering to godess lakshmi. The kheer came out amazingly well . Thank you prema for this wonderful recipe. You can find the original recipe from prema 's blog. I made few variations as i was not having few ingredients. Below is the recipe.



Ingredients :

Carrot - 1 Large - finely grated
Sago - 2 tablespoons
Milk - 2 cups
Sugar - 1/2 cup or according to your taste
Cashews - 5
Cardamom - 2 - nicely crushed
Clarified Butter / Ghee - 1 tablespoon


Method :

Heat clarified butter in a thick bottomed pan, fry cashews and keep them aside. Fry the grated carrots in the same pan for few minutes in low flame. Now add milk, sugar and crushed cardamom, cook on low flame for 10 minutes. In the mean time , soak sago for 10 minutes and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Add this sago to the kheer and cook the kheer on low flame for 10 more minutes. Garnish with fried cashews and serve warm or chilled. 

I am sending this recipe to two for tuesdays event hosted by Girlichef , Kids Delight hosted by Pari and Kids Menu Event hosted by Neha.
