Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Heat the ghee or oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the grated carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and lightly browned, about 15-20 minutes.
2
Add the milk to the pan and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the milk has thickened and the mixture has reduced slightly, about 10-15 minutes.
3
Add the sugar, cardamom powder, and chopped nuts to the pan. Stir to combine and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
4
Remove the pan from the heat and let the pudding cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours or overnight.
