Ingredients

6 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 lbs carrots grated
1 tsp cardamom powder
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
pinch of salt
¾ cup nuts blanched almonds, sliced cashews and pistachios

Instructions

Grate carrots on the smallest hole of the grater. Squeeze out the juice from the carrots with your hands. Discard the juice (or wait, drink up the juice!).
Heat up a skillet on medium flame and melt butter.
Add grated carrots and sautee for five minutes.
Add cardamom powder (freshly ground is best, but store-bought one is okay too).
Let the carrots cook until soft, another 15 minutes. The color of the carrots will get dull.
Pour in condensed milk and on low heat continue cooking for another 30 minutes. You can turn the flame up just a little bit. Be sure to frequently stir the carrots. After the condensed milk has completely evaporated, the carrots should appear sticky and dry. It may take anywhere from 30-40 minutes so keep an eye on the pan.
At this point, add in the nuts. To blanch almonds, soak it in hot water for 5-10 minutes, peel the skin and slice them in slivers (or just use slivered almonds).
Serve warm!
This can be stored in the fridge for 4-5 days. To serve, just reheat in microwave for 15 seconds.
