Carrot Kheer(Carrot Payasam)

Carrot is such a lovely vegetable from which we can make many different types of dishes. I tried Payasam with Carrot and it turned out to be very good. Carrot Kheer, a healthy and tasty payasam variety. We can serve cold and also we can pour this in  popsicle moulds and freeze and serve as popsicles. A soothing drink particularly during hot summer.  Try carrot payasam (Carrot Kheer) next time instead of a conventional one. This would be well appreciated by your family and guests. Try it out and let me know.
