"Carrot Kheer is a crowd-pleaser Indian dessert that makes for a special festival food this Navratri. Warm and comforting flavors, visually appealing, rich and sweet, carrot kheer lends a striking dash of orange to the table. A decadent dessert to finish off a festive thali (meal). Red carrots work best but you can use the orange ones too. USE OF WHOLE MILK AND SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK YIELDS A RICHER KHEER. From Sailu's Kitchen."
