Carrot Rice kheer – I tasted this yummy kheer in my neighbors place, this kheer was served as a dessert after a heavy hearty meal. The taste was so good and I asked her for the recipe and tried at home. It turned out quite nice, it’s very easy and simple to make too. She is a good cook and make many Kerala dishes, We used to relish them all!
This carrot rice kheer is ideal for babies from one year as a quick dessert. Do give a try and am sure your little one & the whole family will like it! Now let’s get on to check this carrot rice kheer recipe.

May 4, 2018 at 10:01 pmThis carrot rice kheer is suitable for one year as cows milk is used in the recipe. You can try with formula milk instead of cows milk…but dont cook the formula milk…
cook carrot and rice together, add dates syrup, nuts powder cool it down and add formula when its warm
