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
