Kheer
During this hot season, sweet foods can be our friend-in moderation.
Kheer provides an easy-to-digest dessert that is not too sweet but can ameliorate the symptoms of pitta.
Be advised that honey is a great sweetener but it is not to be cooked.
There are several options to make this dessert listed below.
Ingredients
Makes 4 servings
-
2.5 cups coconut milk (from the can)
-
2 tablespoons organic raw sugar

2 cups water

½ cup basmati white rice

¼ teaspoon cinnamon
-
¼ teaspoon cardamom
-
¼ cup raisins (optional)
-
½ teaspoon rose water (optional)
-
Chopped pistachios for garnish (optional)

Bring the coconut milk, water, and sugar to a boil in a large saucepan.
