My mom once said that as a kid I always surprised her by changing my food preferences with age. Being a mommy of an 8 year old kid, I now realize how correct she was.
When during her weaning days and even till an age of 3 years or more my kid loved rice kheer, she stopped liking and eating it when she was 4 years old. I was in a fix then. When on festivals and occasions everyone in the family enjoyed chilled rice kheer, she was the only one not eating.
I then tried this sevaiya kheer recipe, made from Bambino sevaiya which are made from semolina (suji) and my kiddo loves it till date. May be she was bored of one variety and when I changed it a bit, she liked it. I am sharing this recipe with everyone. It is a good way to give kids milk and nuts. It uses very little oil and can be made with jaggery too.
Ingredients
1.25 litres whole cream milk
1/2 cup sevaiya
1/4 tea spoon oil (olive oil or refined oil)
1/4 cup water
1/2 teas spoon elaichi powder
1/4 cup nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios) either finely chopped or grinded
1/2 cup sugar or 1/2 cup grated red jaggery (gud)
Pistachio's for garnishing
Method
1. Take a small heavy bottom pan and add oil. When hot add the sevaiya and roast it on medium flame for around 2-4 minutes till they are roasted and brown in colour. Once done add water and switch of the gas. Keep it aside. The sevaiya will absorb the water.
2.To another heavy bottom pan add milk and after one boil let it simmer and reduce till half its original quantity. To this add nuts and elaichi powder.
3. When the milk is reduced to half add the sevaiya mixture we had in another pan and at simmer let it cook for around ten minutes till the sevaiya rises above and the whole mixture is thick.
4. Lastly add sugar and again keep stirring till it dissolves and let it cook for 5 more minutes. If you are using jaggery, add it and switch of the gas and keep stirring till it dissolves.
You can serve this kheer by garnishing with pistachios, kesar and silver vark. It tastes good at room temperature or when served cold. I made it today, so am sharing a picture.
