Boil 2 to 3 kilograms of milk on low heat until it is 80 to 90% dry.

Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar to the milk and increase the flame to dry it quickly until it forms khoya.

Spread the khoya and let it cool.

Wash the carrots in water mixed with vinegar, then grate them.

Remove the khoya to a separate bowl.

In the same pan, add the grated carrots and cook on low heat until the water is fully evaporated.

Add powdered sugar according to taste and mix well, ensuring any water released from the sugar is dried up.

Crush 1 to 2 cardamom pods and add them to the mixture, avoiding whole cardamom for better taste.

Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of desi ghee for authentic flavor, though oil can be used as a substitute if needed.

Mix in the dry fruits of your choice and 1 tablespoon of condensed milk for enhanced flavor.

Finally, add the khoya back to the mixture and roast everything together, saving some khoya for garnishing.
