carrot kheer is a dessert recipe and is made with the method of making kheer by using grated carrots into it. I like to name this kheer as carrot kheer but some also look out for carrot payasam and this is that payasam one should be looking out for since it is a healthy payasam using grated carrots.

Carrots are easily available during winters and one must make full use of carrots in winter season.

In this post I would be glad to share a delicious dessert which tastes like kheer and has carrot flavors infused into the recipe.

Overall it is a very nutritious and a healthy dessert made using milk and carrots. This carrot payasam tastes sweet and very cream one made with few ingredients that are easily available at home or in markets.

Carrot is a very healthy vegetable and having it in any form is a very healthy option and is a great source of Vitamin A for our body.

It can be taken in many forms like juices, soups, salads, curries or it is used to make desserts too.

I have used carrot quite a few times in my blog recipes and some of them are like I have made a juice that is carrot juice, some in the form of fry like carrot fry, one more dessert recipe that I have made using carrots is gajar ka halwa with milkmaid.

It can be combined with several other main course recipes like rice recipes  for example I have added carrots  in chicken fried rice, egg fried rice etc... and in hyderabadi veg biryani. It can also be made in the form of juice mixing it with other vegetables like beetroot, orange etc...

Carrot is widely used to make salads and soups etc..

I have plenty of recipes that I would like to share in near future with carrot as the main ingredient but today I have brought a special dessert recipe for my blog readers to relish.

This kheer is absolutely yummy and a great way to include carrots in our diet.
