Nuts, i cant survive without them obviously they will always have their important place in my pantry. Even if i ran out of vegetables or fruits, i dont get struck and will definitely dish out delicious nutty dishes. Needless to say cashew nuts and almonds are my life savers. Whenever we go to India i never forget to get few kgs of cashews as cashews are quite expensive here. Since i dont restrict myself when its comes to cashew nuts, its better for me to get them from India.Now you can guess my shopping list especially when we go to India.Coming to today's recipe, its a healthy,definitely super nutty kheer with carrots and badam aka almonds.
This carrot badam kheer can be enjoyed both chilled or warm, an excellent dessert to serve your sudden guests or to make as a special sweet for festival days or else simply to enjoy as a dessert after a meal.Kids will go crazy if you serve this kheer chilled. However i prepared this delicious kheer few days back and my kids enjoyed thoroughly.Am running my third week of blogging marathon with Kid's delight - Colourful dishes hence am sending this healthy and super nutty kheer for this week's theme.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#49.
