Ingredients

For Carrot Burfi

  • 1 cup Carrots grated
  • 1/4 cup Khoya
  • 1/4 cup Sugar powdered
  • 1/4 cup Condensed Milk
  • 2 tsp Ghee

For Carrot Sandesh

  • 1 cup Carrots grated
  • 1 cup Paneer / Chhana / Cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup Milk Powder
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1/2 cup Sugar powdered
  • 1/4 cup Mixed Nuts chopped

Instructions

  • Since I was making Noram Paak, I only kneaded the fresh chhana first and then added sugar while cooking.

Roasting the Grated Carrots

  • In a nonstick pan, heat the ghee and roast the grated carrot for 5 to 7 mins till it is nicely cooked. Remove and use as needed.

For Carrot Burfi

  • In a nonstick pan, take half of the roasted carrots, add Khoya and powdered sugar, mix well.
  • After cooking for a couple of minutes, add the condensed milk and stir to combine all together.
  • Cooking for a couple of minutes for the mix to get thicken.
  • Transfer to a greased plate and shape it into a square.
  • I used a small rectangle pan, where I moulded both the layers together.

For Carrot Sandesh

  • In a nonstick pan, take the kneaded chhana, add sugar and cook on low flame for making Noram paak.
  • Then add the remaining roasted carrots, mix well.
  • Next, add milk powder, combine well.
  • Slowly add the milk for the mixture to come together as a fudge. This only takes about 3 to 4 mins.
  • When it starts to leave on the sides, remove and spread as required on the carrot burfi layer.
  • If required you can put this in the fridge for 10 to 15 mins to set.
  • Cut into squares, garnish with nuts.

Notes

I used a rectangle pan, where I pressed down both the layers.
Remember I only used the portion as required to get about 6 pieces. Rest I used as Carrot Burfi and for something else.
All the Bengali sweets I made were for about 5 to 6 pieces, just enough to sail through the day.
