A delicious organic kheer recipe as follows:
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp of ghee
- 2 tbsp of raisins or kismis
- 10-12 deseeded black dates
- 20 pieces of cashews
- 20 pieces of almonds
- 20 pieces of pistachios
- a few charoli nuts
- 125 gms (1 cup) of vermicelli or seviyan
- 2 litre (8 cups) of cow milk (preferably organic)
- 120 gms (1 cup) sugar (preferably raw organic sugar)
- 8 cardamom pods, shelled and the seeds powdered
- rose petals (optional)
Procedure:
Once you’ve all the ingredients for the kheer recipe in place, it’s pretty much a simple process. Heat the ghee over a medium flame and once it melts, add the raisins and after they puff up, take them out and keep them aside. Add the deseeded dates and after they are roasted, remove them from the pan and keep them aside. Next, you need to put in the blanched and peeled cashews, almonds and pistachios and the charoli nuts, roast them for 2 to 3 minutes and then keep them aside. The first step of the kheer recipe is complete. Now, in the same ghee add the vermicelli or seviyan and roast on low heat until the vermicelli turns golden brown. Roasting the vermicelli nicely intensifies the taste of this kheer recipe. After the vermicelli is roasted, add the milk and allow it to come to a boil. After the milk comes to a rolling boil, turn down the heat and add the raisins, dates, and nuts. Cook the dry fruits and the vermicelli together in the milk for about15-20 minutes, until it becomes thick and creamy. Stir in the sugar and cook again for 4-5 minutes, for a touch of sweetness to the kheer recipe. Put in the cardamom powder and mix well. Garnish with dry fruits and rose petals and you’re ready to enjoy the labor of this kheer recipe. Serves six.
