Rice is the usual choice for kheer, but millet works just as well. Whether you like barnyard or foxtail millet, just simmer in milk with sugar until it reaches a thick, pudding-like consistency. So, why don’t you make your favourite dessert gluten-free?
1/2 cup millet 2 cups milk Sugar to taste 2 tablespoons ghee A pinch of cardamom powder Chopped dry fruits for garnishing
Heat some ghee and roast the millet till golden brown.
In another pan, heat some milk. Let it boil and then simmer for another 5 minutes.
Add the roasted millet and sugar to the milk. Let it cook till the sugar dissolves.
Mix in a pinch of cardamom powder. Garnish with chopped nuts and serve hot.
