Method of preparation:

.. Melt butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Let the butter
heat up for 2 minutes after it has melted. You may want to scrape the
foam on the top of the butter using a spoon. This is a process to
clarify butter and turn it to ghee. It has a different aroma than
butter and is extensively used in Indian cooking.

.. Add carrots to the butter and saute for about 8-10 minutes.
.. Add cardamom powder and milk. Cook uncovered until milk evaporates
and the carrots are cooked. This may take about 30-45 minutes over
medium-high heat.

another 5 minutes.
