This is a frequently made dessert in Indian and Pakistani homes and it is difficult to estimate ingredients. My sister-in-law who lives in Milpitas has worked out the following measure with perfect results every time.
Gajarela
Print RecipeIngredients
- 6oz butter
- 1 tsp ground cardamom
- 4 pts milk

- 1½ cup sugar
Instructions
1
Melt butter in a deep heavy based saucepan, add cardamoms, carrots, rice and the milk, bring to the boil and simmer for 30 - 45mins. Keep stirring every 10mins so the ingredients do not stick to the bottom of the pan.
2
Add the sugar, mix well, bring to boil and cook for another 5mins whilst stirring.
3
Leave to cool for 10mins in the pan, pour into a shallow serving dish and garnish with sliced almonds.

Cool in a refrigerator before serving with single fresh cream or plain yoghurt.
