CARROT DESSERT - CARROT POLA / CARROT KUMS

CARROT POLA / POLA RECIPE

Carrot pola is a very popular Malabar special sweet which resembles like a cake and so it also named as carrot egg cake made on stove top. I just love to make pola every time as it is a very quick one pot meal. No mess yet a yummy kids friendly recipe. You can make Apple pola, Dates pola, Bread pola following the same recipe. This sweet is a common Ramadan / Iftar dish which is prepared with carrot and eggs. The cooked carrot, egg, milk powder, sugar, condensed milk are pureed together in a blender and then poured into a sauce pan, garnished with nuts and cooked over a low flame until it is set. As eggs and carrots are good for kids, this carrot egg cake will be a good sweet treat for toddlers and kids. For me, I love to have this for brunch. A lovely yummy treat. Here is the recipe showing how to make carrot Pola / flourless cake recipe /carrot dessert recipes/carrot dessert recipes /easy carrot recipes/carrot kums / toddlers recipes.

  • Boil some water (1 small cup) and add the roughly chopped carrots to it. Cover it and cook well. 
  • When done, drain the water and transfer the cooked carrot to a blender. (This is optional only, most people used to grind the uncooked carrot along with the  other ingredients).
  • To this, add eggs, milk powder, sugar, condensed milk, cardamom powder (optional) and blend them well. Mix it with a spoon. (you can also add maida / all purpose flour mixed with some water and make a paste. Add this along with these ingredients. This helps the pola to set fast). 
  • Now heat a non-stick round pan with ghee. Fry nuts (i used almonds only) and raisins. When done, transfer it to a plate.
  • Then pour the prepared carrot mixture into the pan with the leftover ghee.
  • Cover it and cook for 5 minutes in a low flame. Now open the lid and spread the fried nuts and raisins. 
  • Again cover and cook over a low flame for 20 - 25 minutes. Check occasionally.
  • When the top of the carrot pola is done, flip it into a greased pan carefully. 
  • Cook for 2 minutes, and transfer to a plate (keep the plate covered over the pan and then flip.)
  • Once cooled, slice it. 
  • You will not get a perfect slice once it is hot.
  • Tasty, healthy carrot pudding/carrot pola / carrot kums ready. Toddlers will love this for sure. Do try this healthy toddlers sweet recipe.
(If you want to cut short the eggs, you can try this with 3 eggs and must add 3 tbsp of all purpose flour too while grinding. )
