Notes
1. Cook the carrots till no moisture left in them.
2. Once the carrots are fully-cooked, cool them completely before adding other ingredients into them.
3. Carrot paneer ladoos have a short shelf-life; always refrigerate them in an airtight container.
4. Use dry and little hard paneer because even little moisture makes the ladoos soggy and alters the taste.
5. Roasted almonds enhance the flavor and make them crunchier.
