About Rice Pudding (Chawal Ki Kheer)
Rice Pudding Recipe: A Divine Offering to Lord GaneshaHere is a beautiful story shared by Chef Reetu Uday Kugaji. Any festival is incomplete without offering Bhog, the Divine Kheer, to Lord Ganesha.Baby Ganesha requests his mother, Parvati, to prepare kheer (rice pudding) for him. However, as Parvati is busy, she asks him to go to the village and find someone to prepare it for him. Ganesha decides to descend to earth as a poor boy with very little milk and a fistful of rice.He requests almost all the villagers to make rice pudding for him, but all deny him except for the oldest, kind-hearted woman in the village. She acknowledges the request and agrees to prepare the rice pudding. When Ganesha, disguised as the boy, asks her to get the biggest vessel to prepare the kheer, she hesitates, saying she only has a little rice and milk. Nevertheless, she brings the biggest vessel, and to her surprise, the rice pudding fills the vessel to the brim.The woman had promised not to eat the kheer until she fed the boy, but the boy goes missing. She offers the kheer to Lord Ganesha and can't resist tasting the creamy, aromatic kheer. After eating a spoonful, she feels guilty and apologizes when the boy returns. However, the boy surprises her by revealing that she has already fed him. He then takes his original form as Lord Ganesha.The woman falls at his feet, and Lord Ganesha asks her for a wish. She wishes to be made into a young, beautiful, and rich woman with a beautiful palace and garden. Lord Ganesha grants her wish and asks her to distribute the kheer to the villagers, forgiving those who had denied his request. From that day, the villagers never went hungry, all thanks to Lord Ganesha's grace.
