Pasta and Carrot Kheer:

My teenage daughter who loves to experiment in food as well as to try or taste new combinations gave an idea to mix her favourite pasta with carrot in payasam and here is the result. I want to dedicate this post to her.

I did follow any regular kheer recipe. To give an extra zing I added ghee fried Chironji and carrot.
