Salam...after a long time its a nice post..keep up your good work. wats the substitute for khoya?

Anjum said...

its ok if u dont add khoya...actually seeing if u add khoya..u cant store the meetha for more than a day...n people usually add milkmaid in place of khoya...but i have never tried it personally..u can prepare the meetha even without khoya

Very good recipe but the green color and essence has to be added last when the kheer becomes cool at room temperature then garnish with almonds and cherrys

Salam alaikum,

This is for how many people? I want to make this for 30 persons let me know the proportion please. Thanks ,

Mrs. Yusuf

Anjum said...

Asak Mrs Yousuf

The quantities I mentioned are for 5 people , and if you need for 30 people please calculate accordingly.
Instead of making in such a big quantity , I suggest you make 2 different deserts to simplify the job and also have variety.

Good luck

Anjum

Anjum, tried the recipe. I usually make it with milk, sabudana, sugar and condense milk. But the additions you suggested added a far more royal taste. Especially the kaju. Thank you!

Rana Bathul , tried this recipe..its tasty..thank u

I suggest 200 gms khoya for one ltr milk for a rich taste.
Similar quantity of qalaqand or full fat milk powder can be used, if khoya is not an option.
Essence & color are best to be added when the kheer temperature comes to room temperature or below.
Garnishing with cherry & fruits (dried papaya) will definitely enhance the taste.
Custard powder can be an option, if rice powder is not available.
