Ingredients
- 500 grams carrot
- 7-8 orange
- ½ teaspoon lemon adjust as per taste
- 4 cups water approx
- 3 teaspoon sugar
- Mint a few springs
Instructions
- Wash and peel the carrots.
- Cut in roundels and transfer to a bowl, add a cup of water and pressure cook in the cooker for 2 whistles.
- Let the pressure drop naturally. Remove the carrots and cool them completely.
- Meanwhile, peel the oranges remove the segments slit open, discard the membrane and seeds. Better to do this in a wide bowl this way the orange juice is collected too.
- To a blender/mixer, add the carrots, sugar and the water that you have used to boil the carrots.
- Blitz till the sugar is well mixed and all the ingredients are well crushed.
- Adjust the sugar, add the lemon then add water as needed. The amount of water you need will depend on the orange juice you have.
- Transfer to a flat container and set in the freezer till the juice freezes.
- Actually, you have to remove from the freezer and use a fork to scrape and stir the granita. Transfer back to the freezer. Do this at least 2 times. I did not I just scooped the granite and shaped it into these cute balls.
- Serve immediately.
