About Amranth/ Ramdane/ Rajgira Ki Kheer

Rajgira, also known as amaranth or ramdana, is a nutritious grain often enjoyed during fasting periods in India. While it's commonly found in the form of laddus or chikkis at the market, rajgira is incredibly versatile and can also be used to make puris or parathas paired with potatoes. Rich in iron and fiber, this ancient grain not only nourishes the body but also brings a wealth of health benefits to your table.
This creamy, indulgent Rajgira Ki Kheer transforms the humble grain into a delectable dessert, perfect for serving guests or treating yourself during festive times. Cooked slowly with full cream milk, sugar, and a generous mix of almonds and cashews, this kheer exudes a rich flavor. Enhance its aroma and taste with a touch of cardamom powder and saffron, making each spoonful a delightful blend of tradition and comfort.

Additional Tips

  • For extra creaminess, soak the rajgira grains in milk for 30 minutes before cooking; this helps them swell and soften, resulting in a silkier kheer texture.
  • If you prefer a nutty crunch, lightly roast the almonds and cashews in a teaspoon of ghee before adding them to the kheer, enhancing both flavor and aroma.
  • For a vegan version, substitute full cream milk with thick coconut milk or almond milk and use a plant-based sweetener like maple syrup or coconut sugar.
  • Kheer thickens as it cools, so if preparing in advance, consider keeping it slightly runnier and adding a splash of warm milk before serving to adjust consistency.
