1Wash and peel the carrots and beetroot. Grate them finely.
In a heavy-bottomed pan, add the grated carrots and beetroot. Cook on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until they soften.
Add the milk to the pan and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the mixture thickens, add the sugar and stir well until it dissolves completely.
Add the cardamom powder and mix thoroughly.
Cook for another 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
Allow the kheer to cool slightly, then refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
Serve chilled, garnished with nuts or saffron if desired.
