Grate the carrots using a box grater or food processor.

Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat until melted.

Add the grated carrots to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened.

Pour in the milk and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.

Simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the milk thickens and reduces, about 30-40 minutes.

Stir in sugar and continue to cook until fully dissolved, about 5 minutes.

Add cardamom, saffron, and a pinch of salt, mixing well.

In a separate pan, toast cashews and raisins in ghee until golden.

Fold the toasted nuts and raisins into the carrot mixture.

Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.

Garnish with additional nuts if desired.
