Here is quick method to make this delicious dessert using Pressure cooker.There is no compromise in taste.

Method:
1. Wash,peel and grate carrots.
2.  Heat 2 to 3 tbsp ghee in a cooker,add cardamom. Then add grated carrots.
3. Cover cooker with lid and take 3 whistles.
4. Once pressure subsides,open cooker.
5. Add remaining ghee to a non stick pan ,then add carrots and khoya/mava.  (I transferred carrots  to nonstick pan,but you can continue with cooker also).
