ABOUT Green Papaya & Chia Seeds Kheer / Pudding RECIPE

It is a very soothing and a refreshing kheer with the goodness of chia seeds and of course green papaya for its soothing effect. I sometimes have it as a side dish with parathas or puri. It's simply divine.

Ingredients Serving: 4

1 cup grated raw papaya
2 tbsp. chia seeds soaked in 1 cup water overnight
1-2 tbsp. ghee
500 ml milk
2-3 green cardamoms
pinch of salt
sugar to taste
2-3 tbsp. chopped pistachios
pinch of saffron
1/4 tsp. cardamom powder
1 tsp. kewra water

Instructions

Heat ghee in a pan and saute the grated papaya for 2-3 minutes. Keep aside. Bring the milk to a boil. Add the green cardamoms and a pinch of salt and simmer for 4-5 minutes.
Add the papaya and continue to simmer on a low flame, by stirring at intervals. When the papaya turns soft, add the sugar and the chopped pistachios (reserving some for the garnish).
When the kheer turns slightly thick, switch off the flame. Add the kewra / rose water, cardamom powder and the saffron.
Just before serving, add the soaked chia seeds. Garnish with the remaining pista and serve it chilled in individual bowls.
