    What is Poha

    Poha is nothing but flattened rice. It is prepared by parboiling the rice and then flattened by following few techniques. It is a very popular food in the Indian Subcontinent. We use them to prepare a variety of recipes from breakfast to dinner.

    Ingredients

    Poha - Use the white or red variety of Poha. Both are perfect for the kheer.
    Milk - Use full fat milk kheer for a creamy rich kheer.
    Sugar - Since it is a white themed Kheer I am using sugar as the sweetener. However, you may use Jaggery or coconut sugar
    Cardamom - They add a nice flavor to the kheer.
    Saffron - Give a rich and royal feel to the kheer.
    Nuts - We usually roast the nuts in ghee and add them to the Kheer. Usually, Cashew nuts and raisins are used.
