Where to find ingredients
Carrots are easily available at any local sabzi mandi or supermarket. Milk and eggs can be sourced from your daily dairy delivery or local grocery store. For the parmesan cheese, look for blocks or pre-grated options in the cheese/dairy section of larger supermarkets like Nature's Basket or Foodhall; if you cannot find imported parmesan, a high-quality aged local hard cheese is a suitable alternative for the same salty, umami profile. Butter is a standard kitchen staple found everywhere.
Preparation method
- Add the boiled carrots, milk, eggs, and half of the grated cheese into a blender jar
- Blitz everything together until you have a perfectly smooth and uniform mixture
- Grease a baking dish or ramekin with butter or oil and lightly dust it with some grated parmesan if you like
- Pour the carrot mixture from the blender into your prepared baking dish
- Sprinkle the remaining grated cheese over the top for a lovely crust
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until the soufflé is golden and set
