      I love carrot Kheer because it’s much easier to make than carrot halwa but still tastes a little like it. Love that beautiful color of your halwa - looks very inviting.

      I love carrot kheer and make a big batch and have it in the refrigerator for the boys to drink instead of their evening milk. So healthy and flavorful!
