Easy sweet dish which also helps in getting good sleep.
Ingredients
vegetarian 4 servings
1/2 cup Khus-khus (Poppy seeds)
1 cup Fresh Coconut (grated)
2 Green Cardamom
1/2 Jaggery
2 tsp Ghee (clarified butter)
10 Cashwenuts (broken in halves)
Directions
Soak Poppy seeds in warm water for an hour.
In a blender, add soaked Poppy seeds, Cardamom & Coconut. Grind to a paste by adding some of the soaked water.
Heat Ghee in a pan & fry the Cashwenuts till golden brown. Remove & keep aside.
In the same ghee, add the ground paste & 1/2 cup water. Boil for 2 mins stirring constantly.
Add Jaggery & mix well. Boil the mixture for about 15-20 mins stirring constantly as it might stick to the bottom. It should be of medium thick consistency.
Add the fried cashew nuts, mix well & serve hot. This Kheer can also be eaten cold. Tastes good in both the ways.
NOTE: Jaggery can also be replaced by sugar. Adjust sweetness accordingly.
