Notes
Serve as an after meal dessert.
If you feel the kheer is very thin, make a slurry 1 tsp rice flour and 2 tbsp water and add to thick the kheer.
Prepare it when the jackfruit is in season.
Adjust the sweetness as per your taste.
I used impurities free organic jaggery and hence I dint strain for impurities. It is a must if using normal jaggery.
