The healthy lifestyle that I have embarked on has definitely improved the way I feel about myself. While it was difficult in the beginning, but now my body has got used to the sparse use of sugar in my cooking. Even the desserts prepared at home are now more fruits and honey ( if at all required )based. This simple kheer or rice pudding is a classic example where I have skipped the sugar and instead relied on the natural sweetness of the ingredients.
