Serves:2 

Ingredients:

• Rice- 1\2 cup
• coconut grated-from 1\2
• Powdered jaggery- 1\3 to 1\2 cup
• Milk- 1\2( boiled & cooled)
• Cardamon powder- little
• Cashew or coconut pieces- few
• ghee-to fry cashew/coconut pieces

Method:


1.Wash rice well. Coarsely ground rice and coconut.

2.Add about 2-3 cups water to it and cook in a big vessel. Stir it continuously to avoid burning until the rice is cooked well.

3. Add the powdered jaggery to it, mix and let it boil.

4. Lastly add cardamom powder, milk and switch it off.

Add fried cashew/coconut bites and serve.

Note :

1. Increase the jaggery level if you want to be sweeter.

2. Colour may be dark depending on the jaggery type u use. I used light color one so my kheer color is light.

3.You can replace milk with coconut milk also.Don't allow milk to boil more as it will be curdled.But milk will be good as it already has coconut in it.

4.It was not mentioned to use which rice variety, I used raw rice.
