    What variety of Millets to Choose for the Kheer.

    I have used Little Millet for this kheer today, especially Kodo Millet and Foxtail Millet Can be the best replacement. Porso Millet, Bajra , Ragi may take more time to cook and the Milk and sweeteners added may also differ.

    All about Millets:

    I have a lot of Millets recipes in my blog, Also I have plans to write a detailed post about the Millets soon. So yes, I will update it soon as I find some time.

    Millet Rose Kheer, Ingredients Used:

    Millets:

    The base of the Kheer is Millets, Use any good quality Little Millet, Foxtail Millet or Kodo Millet . There are raw and parboiled varieties of Millets. Raw Millets use more time to cook than the par boiled Millets. So, in case you are using Raw Millets, add more water or Milk as needed to cook the Millets.

    Make sure the Kheer is not too thick. Adjust the consistency if needed after the millets are cooked.

    Milk:

    Milk is the base in which the Millets are cooked in the kheer. Using Full fat Milk gives us a creamier Kheer, but definitely you can use other varieties of Milk also.

    Sugar :

    Sugar and Condensed Milk is used for the sweetness of the Kheer. I have used Refined Sugar in this recipe. But you can also you Coconut Sugar, Palm Sugar as well. Stevia can be used for a sugarless version.

    If you don’t want to use Condensed Milk you can use ¾ cup to 1 cup of Sugar as per your sweet preference.

    Condensed Milk:

    Condensed Milk makes the Kheer Richer, It is kind of a thickened milk. You can use half sugar and half condensed milk for a rich version of Kheer.

    Rose Extract:

    Rose extract is used for flavouring the kheer and it gives the beautiful pink tint. You can replace Rose Kheer with 2 tbsp of Beetroot Juice and 1 tsp of Rose Water.

    Or you can also add 1 tbsp of Roohafza or as needed. The Rose extract which is used is bit dense, so 1 tsp is sufficient for me.

    Nuts and Garnish:

    I dint use Ghee toasted Nuts in the Kheer. Went with Silvered Almond and Rose Petals. But you can use any Nuts of your choice.

    Even we can roast cashew nuts and Raisings in ghee like how we do in traditional Kheer. Tastes good this way as well.

    How to prepare Millet Rose Kheer

    3. Once the Millets are cooked, add Sugar and Condensed Milk. Mix well and cook at a low flame for 5 mins.

    4. Next, add in the Rose Extract.

    5. Mix well and cook at a low flame for another 2 mins and switch off Millet Rose Kheer is now ready.
