Notes

Don’t cook after adding the thick coconut milk kheer will curdle.
The sweetness from the chakka varatti is sufficient for the kheer.
If you prefer more add in the Jaggery syrup.
Do not add cow's milk with the chakka varatti . It will curdle immediately and hence always use coconut milk.
If you feel mixing chakka varatti and coconut milk is difficult. You can also them to a blender, blend well, and then start to cook.
