Healthy and tasty carrot kalakand made with fresh paneer and carrot and topped with crunchy almonds.. The freshly prepared homemade chenna makes it a super rich and delicious sweet treat to enjoy at any festival. But again I used the minimal amount of sugar just to bind them together. As always you can add at least 1 cup of sugar to make it a proper sweet dessert.

4 cups carrots, grated
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoon ghee/clarified butter
1 teaspoon cardamom powder
