Black carrots are rich in anthocyanins which give then the purple black color has extensive health benefits. They have antioxidant benefits and high in dietary fiber. I picked them up while in Banaras for a trip and prepared this delicious dessert with some twists. To start with I fried the grated black carrots in 3 tbsp of clarified butter. Then added around 1/2 liter of full cream milk in batches and reduced the milk with the carrots till it starts leaving pan. For the sweetness I added the seasonal date palm jaggery for that aroma. You can add 1 tsp of cardamom powder, optional in case you are using date palm jaggery. and I topped them with roasted Turkish hazelnuts.
