Preparation
Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded carrots, milk powder, whipping cream, butter, and brown sugar. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Cook on the Stove: Pour the mixture into a pot and place it over medium-high heat. Stir continuously to prevent sticking and cook until it begins to boil.
Simmer to Perfection: Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low. Let the mixture simmer, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Optional Add-Ins: Stir in sliced almonds or raisins if desired for added texture and flavour.
Serve and Enjoy: Spoon the gajrala into bowls and serve warm. It’s perfect as a dessert or a cozy mid-day treat.
