1. Carrots - about 10-12
2. Sweet condensed milk (Milkmaid) - 1 can
3. Unsweet condensed milk - 2 cans
4. Cashew nuts - about 15 pieces
Method:
1. Peal the skin of the carrots and grate them.
2. Steam the carrots with little water for 10 mins.
3. Allow the steamed carrots to cool and beat it in a mixer (without the water) to make a semi solid paste.
4. Put the carrot paste in a pan, and add the unsweet condensed milk to this paste and heat it in medium flame.
5. Also add the sweet condensed milk (about 3/4th of the can) and keep stirring the mixture.
6. When the mixture starts to boil, remove the pan from the flame.
7. In another pan, add 2 spoons of ghee. When it heats up add cashews and fry it till it becomes brown and add it to the mixture.
8. Serve the payasam hot.
This is the first time I had carrot payasam in my life and it came out really well. Thanks to my friend SriVidya for giving me the recipe and helping me to try it out!
