1 tbsp sultanas
2 tbsp clarified (or unsalted) butter

Preparation method
Trim, peel and finely grate the vegetables.
Combine them with milk, cardamom and sultanas in a large non-stick frying pan.
Heat gently and bring to a simmer, stirring occassionally.
Cook until the vegetables are tender and almost all the liquid has evaporated, stirring frequently as the mixture thickens.
Add butter, sugar, nuts, and rosewater or screwpine essence if using, and stir well.
