Millets are great replacements for our staple grains of rice & wheat. They lend a huge variety to our palate, are easier to digest, and fill our mental ‘need’ for grains for a filling meal. Here we have used the vrat ke chawal, barnyard millet also known as Sama chawal. This millet can replace rice in your usual meal, in dosa-idli batters and here in dessert in place of rice!

Ingredients

• Coconut milk: 4 cups
• Sama Rice: ½ cup
• Jaggery powder or syrup: ½ cup (or per taste)
• Nuts for garnishing

Method

• Wash the sama rice thoroughly with water.
• Take sama rice and coconut milk in a steel wok and heat them up till the milk begins to boil.
• Reduce to low flame and simmer the mixture till sama rice is completely cooked. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Remember to keep stirring at regular intervals.
• Switch off the flame at desired consistency and let the kheer mixture cool down completely.
• Once at room temperature, add jaggery powder to it and mix well. (Adding jaggery powder while the mixture is still hot can cause the milk to curdle).
• Alternately, you could add jaggery syrup to the kheer mix while still hot.
• Taste test for sweetness
• Garnish with nuts and serve hot or set in fridge to cool
• Enjoy your healthful kheer guiltfree!
