Carrot Kheer

Quench your thirst with an absolutely tasty drink, ‘Carrot Kheer’. Kheer is nothing but an Indian pudding, served for every Indian festival and special occasions. Kheer can be made using rice, wheat, fruits and vermicelli (will upload later in my posts). It’s an easy dessert recipe and healthy too. ‘Carrot Kheer’ is very special to my heart, coz it’s passed onto me by my mommy. I almost had it every day when in back home. Good old days!!!
