Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Besan Ki Kheer:
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk.
- Toasting the gram flour is crucial; it enhances the nutty aroma and prevents a raw flour taste.
- Adjust the sugar to your preference. Taste and add more if needed.
- If you prefer a smoother kheer, you can blend it briefly after cooking using an immersion blender.
