Carrot Kheer

1. Contributor: ܧhå Rãø
Carrot Kheer

Nenu ela chesa, I don't know if it called kheer but I named it kheer. I grated carrots & cooked in milk.

1 lb or 2 ¾ loosely packed grated carrot
3-4 tbsp (approx. could have used more) Ghee
8-10 cashews
Few Raisins
1 can evaporated milk fat free
½ - ¾ quart milk (1 %)
⅔ - ¾ cup sugar
¼ - ½ tsp, Cardamon seeds powdered

Heat ghee in a pan and saute cashews & raisins until golden brown. Remove it and keep it aside.
In the same ghee, saute carrots for about 3-5 minutes.
Add evaporated milk, milk and bring the milk to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until desired consistency.
Add sugar and cook a little longer.
Add cashews & rasins, crushed cardamon powder.

Evaporated milk leka pothey, add more milk and boil until require consistency is reached. OR you can use wither 2% or whole milk for richer kheer.

Nenu ninna nee chesa kakarkaya kura.
Ingredients:
4 kakarkayas
1 medium sized onion chopped
1 ginger garlic paste (you can use just crushed garlic also)
1 1/2 - 2 tsp. coriander powder
1 1/2 tsp. chili powder (adjust to taste)
Salt
Turmeric powder
1 tbsp rosted sesame seeds & 2 -3 tbsp roasted peanuts ground to powder (sometimes only sesame powder ee vestaanu but yesterday rendu vesa)
3/4 - 1 tsp sugar (brown sugar or bellam can also be used)
Cilantro to garnish

Preparation:
Karkaya nee light ga scrape cheyyu, so that those thick horny skin comes off. Eee step I skip most of the time. Naaku baddakam lee.
Cut the gourd as you like.. I usually slice them into thick rings. Koncham yogurt, salt, turmeric & tamarind (this is optional yesterday I skipped it) & some water vesi cook cheyyu. Once it is tender, remove from stove. Drain the water, if there is any and squeeze the bitter gourd to remove as much juices as possible and keep aside.

In a pan heat oil and saute chopped onion.
Add ginger garlic paste and saute until the raw smell is gone
Add coriander powder, turmeric powder, chili powder, salt and mix well.
Add cooked bitter gourd and saute for 5- 10 minutes until it is nicely fried.
Add sesame & peanut powder and cook for few for minutes until powders mix well with the gourd.
Just before turning off the heat, add sugar and cook for 2 minutes.
Garnish with cilantro and serve.

You can add less or more sugar to adjust the bitterness of the veggie.

Grated kakarkaya fry:
This recipe is with grated kakakaya.. Daani grate chesi, squeeze out as much juices as you can. Here is the recipe link

Kheema stuffed kakarkaya:

edhi kuda baanee vundi.. /i made it once. Koncham pani eekkuva but the taste was not bad. Here is the recipe link

I like kakarkaya.. That vegetable is bitter and no matter what you do, it has a little bit of bitter taste to teh curry and I love it the way it is. Meeku chedu anipistee, add more sugar/bellam

Another Recipe:
Vidya cheppinattu kakarkaya pieces deep fry chestee kuda chedu potundhi. My MIL use to cook it that way.

She use to cut kakarkaya into four pieces, lenght wise and then cut each piece into 1 1/2 " pieces. OR she use to cut them into thick circles, atee slices but very thick, about 1/2 - 1" thickness.

She use to deep fry the pieces in oil and keep aside.

In a sperate pan, koncham oil heat chesi, finely chopped onion or onion paste saute cheyali.
Ginger garlic paste saute cheyali.
Coriander powder, chili powder, turmeric, salt veyali.
Tomato paste or finely chopped tomatoes fry cheyeali.
Then peanut powder veyali She use to add sesame seeds powder also, once in a while.
Masala anta baaga cook ayyaka, fried karela vesi koncham sepu cook cheyali.
Serve it with rice.

Deeniki oil baaga nee padutadhi but tastes good.

Sometimes she use to grind all the ingredients except kakarkaya and then saute it in oil. onion, tomato, peanuts, sesame seeds if using, coriander powder, salt, chili powder ani grind chesi, oil loo sautee cheyali. Onion smell poyaka, fried kakarkaya pieces veyali.
