Dalia Kheer
In this Article
There is no denying the fact that desserts and sweets play an important part of the Indian cuisine. By and large, Indian confectionery is made with sugar, milk and khoya as the standard ingredients, and this is exactly where we bring a twist to the regular kheer recipe. We thought of making the dish healthier by replacing sugar with jaggery, but without compromising on the taste. The best part? This kheer is versatile enough to be had chilled in sweltering summers and hot in bone clattering winters.
