Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 50 gm Barley
- 2 cup Milk
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Milk Powder
Flavor & Garnish
- ¼ cup Fruits cashews, chopped (almonds, dry, raisins)
- ¼ tsp Cardamom Powder
- Coconut Sugar for garnishing, to taste
Instructions
- Soak the barley in water for 10 minutes. This helps soften the grains and reduces cooking time.
- In a saucepan, bring the milk to a boil over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Add the soaked barley to the boiling milk. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring continuously, until the barley is cooked through and the milk has thickened to a creamy consistency. This should take about 20-25 minutes.
- Add the chopped dry fruits and sugar. Stir well to combine.
- Pour the kheer into serving bowls. Allow it to cool slightly.
- Garnish with coconut sugar before serving. The contrast of the warm kheer and cool garnish adds a delightful touch.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk and simmer the kheer on low heat for a longer time, allowing the milk to reduce and thicken.
- Adjust the sweetness according to your preference. Taste and add more sugar or sweetener as needed.
- Garnish with chopped nuts, dried fruits, or a sprinkle of cardamom powder just before serving for added flavor and texture.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover kheer in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Gently reheat before serving, being careful not to scorch the milk.
