  1. Cut off the blemished ends of the carrots, wash them, and then peel them.
  2. Grate the carrots, and transfer the grated carrots into a saucepan.
  3. Add the cashews, raisins, salt, sugar, cardamom, cinnamon, butter, and milk.
  4. Heat the saucepan and bring the contents to a boil, while mixing.
  5. Cook until the milk has mostly evaporated.
