Kheer is a popular dessert in the north. We can prepare kheer using varagu arisi or Kodo millet.
Ingredients for varagu Kheer:
• Kodo millet – ¼ cup
• Sugar –½ cup
• Milk – 2 cup
• Water – 1 cup
• Sugar – ½ cup
• Cashew nuts – 10
• Dry grapes- 10
• Cardamom powder – ½ tsp
Method for preparing kheer using Kodo Millet:
1) Heat the ghee in a heavy bottomed pan; roast the cashews and dry grapes until they turn into golden color. Take them out from the ghee and keep it aside.
2) Fry the kodo millet in the same ghee itself until nice aroma comes out.
3) Then add the water and mix them well. Now close the pan with lid and cook till it becomes soft. At this stage, water gets completely absorbed by the millets.
4) Now add 1 cup of milk, sugar and cardamom powder. Mix it well and bring it to boil and cook for 5-8 minutes.
5) Now add the fried nuts and remaining milk
6) Mix it well and switch off the stove.
7) Garnish with Cashews and dried grapes
8) Serve it hot or cold.
