3. Now it's time to add some sweetness *(but before adding sugar make sure the grated carrots are all cooked up & soft! If not then cook for some more time…as after sugar is added then carrots won't cook!! So complete the cooking & softening part before adding suga…) Add 100g sugar, mix properly…you will see the change consistency(more liquid in consistency now!)
