Rice Kheer is a traditional yet favourite dessert in many Indian households. Usually made with rice and sugar, we’re here with a twist to cater to the increasing number of health-conscious people who are looking for healthier alternatives to their beloved Kheer.
Jaggery is one such option that can replace sugar while imparting a subtle sweetness to the Kheer. You can make this Kheer in a pressure cooker or without it. Mashed rice Kheer has been my go-to recipe, especially during Navratri and Diwali. You can make it with condensed milk or without it. It is known as “Indian Rice Pudding” and is prepared on almost every occasion or auspicious day, such as Diwali, as it adds sweetness and a lovely aroma to our lives. Today, it’s all about taste, with health benefits as a bonus. That’s the beauty of this recipe, and it is loved by all!
