Ready in minutes
And need not a bake.
Strumming with flavor
Indian and sweet,
Not chocolaty enough to
Make you jump off your seat.
A layer of crunch
Another of milk & cream,
Spoonfuls of home
A memorable dream.
Thus this birthday
Dessert on a hunch,
Was designed to bring a smile
On the one I love much.”
Ingredients
For the kheer (pudding)
½ cup white rice
1 cup full cream milk
150 gm coconut milk
2 tablespoons brown sugar
For the pudding layers
2-3 digestives biscuits
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
4 pieces of chocolate, grated
Fruits for garnishing
In a deep pot, bring to boil the milk and coconut milk. Add ½ a cup of water to this, along with the rice and sugar and cook on medium-low flame till the rice is fully cooked. Keep stirring so the rice doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot. Once the rice is cooked, mash half of is using a spatula, and cook till most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and chill for 4-5 hours.
Crush the digestives and mix with the unsalted butter. (Melt it if it’s too solid to mix). Divide the biscuit mixture into 2 parts. Take a dessert cup or glass and press the mixture at the bottom. Fill the rest of the cup with the rice pudding. It should be quite thick by now and settle in quite easily. Top with grated chocolate and fruits (if desired). Chill for another hour and it’s ready to serve.
