Description
A delicious Indian dessert made with oranges and milk.
Ingredients
Scale
- 5–6 mini oranges (or 3–4 regular oranges)
- 1 litre whole milk (full-fat milk)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Peel the oranges and separate the segments.
- Now remove the outer membrane from each segment and discard the seeds, if any. Transfer the flesh to a bowl and refrigerate it.
- Add milk to a heavy bottom pan and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Stir frequently to prevent scorching at the bottom of the pan.
- Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 30-40 minutes until the milk is reduced to half. Keep stirring and scraping the sides of the pan after every 10-12 minutes.
- Mix cornstarch in ¼ cup water and add the slurry to the pan.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes until the kheer thickens. The correct consistency of kheer is like that of a thick custard.
- Add sugar and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Now, taste the kheer for sweetness and add more sugar if it is not perfectly sweet as per your taste.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let the kheer cool down completely.
- Cover the pan with cling wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours.
- Once it is chilled, stir in the orange pieces.
- Garnish with almond and pistachio slivers and serve.
Notes
- This dessert can be served chilled or at room temperature.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
