Instructions:
In a large pan, combine grated carrots and sugar
Cook on low heat, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves and the carrots release their moisture
Add water, cardamom powder, and saffron strands
Mix well
Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the carrots become translucent
This may take about 20-25 minutes
Stir in lemon juice and cook for an additional 5 minutes
