ABOUT Cherry Kheer RECIPE

A soulful sweet dessert relished by everyone at home which is non-other than our all time favourite Kheer. Well, the creaminess and flavours of kheer provoke your senses to devour it ravishingly and so........ it enlightened me to try out a different version this time in my experimental kitchen laboratory. Charismatic cherries are blooming in the stores and consuming it as a regular fruit and juice it's time to trigger our senses with a new version of cherry in form of kheer.

Ingredients Serving: 3

1 cup whole milk
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup cooked rice
1 tbsp vanilla custard powder
Few saffron strands
1 tsp cardamom powder
1 tsp nutmeg powder
15 to 20 cherries deseeded and chopped
3 to 4 finely chopped almond slices

Instructions

Firstly take a deep vessel and add milk to it.
Now switch on the gas and put it on a medium flame.
Stir milk continuously for about 15 to 20 mins on medium flame.
Add sugar and stir properly till it gets dissolved completely.
At this stage add custard powder. Make sure you make a slurry of it by adding a little milk to prevent lumps.
Now add cooked rice and follow the process of stirring. To prevent milk from sticking to the vessel cooking on a medium flame and stirring is recommended.
Once the rice and milk have blended uniformly it is time to add saffron strands.
Now switch off the flame and let the Kheer cool but is still warm.
At this stage add chopped cherries and stir it properly. Before adding marinate chopped cherries in granulated sugar for 20 to 25 mins for uniform taste.
Garnish it with cherries and almond slices and nutmeg powder.
Refrigerate for about 2 hours
Slurp it with a spoon or pour it in a small bowl and enjoy.
Elegant and flavourful cherry kheer
