Carrot Kheer Recipe

The 3 Ingredient carrot Kheer is quick & easy to make this recipe with just carrots, milk and cardamom with or without sugar (preferred for babies under 12 months) and optionally nuts added. I highly recommend using fresh carrots and using an instant pot to steam them. It is a great recipe to make for an occasion and is loved by kids with its orange color and sweet taste.

My little one gobbles it without complaining. And it is a great way to introduce self feeding by giving it in a tumbler. You can choose to make this using almond milk for babies who is not introduced to dairy or to make it vegan. Make this simple carrot payasa with just a few ingredients available in your pantry.
