First heat 2 tsp of ghee in a large heavy bottom / non-stick pan. Add the cashews and raisins and fry until the cashews are golden brown and raisin puff up. Remove the cashews and raisins and keep aside.

To the same pan, with the remaining ghee, add the finely grate carrots. Saute for about 2 mins until they turn slightly pale in color.

Add the milk to the pan and mix well. Stir occasionally and leave it to cook in medium flame.

Once the carrot is almost cooked and the mixture has thickened (i.e.) the milk has almost evaporated, add the cardamom powder and give a quick stir. Immediately add the condensed milk and mix well. Let the mixture continue to cook until it is completely dry.
