rice kheer
Rice pudding with detailed step by step photos recipe. Rice Kheer or Chawal ki Kheer is one among the foremost and popular dessert in North India. It is a traditional Indian rice pudding which is quite long process but it's really easy to make. 

Made by simmering rice and milk in heavy pot or big vessels for a long time, this kheer has a rich, creamy taste and attractive pink colour that comes out of the natural thickening of milk. 

Krishna Janmashtami is a Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Krishna, the eighth avatar of lord Vishnu. Krishna devotees all around the world celebrate this festival with great joy and enthusiasm.

Various dishes are made on this day to offer to the deity. We made chawal ki kheer as a bhog (prasad). Rice Kheer or Chawal ki Kheer is a milk based sweet and this creamy dish that is offered to lord Krishna on the auspicious occasion of Janmashtami.

This tradition is going on my mom side, so I followed the same tradition. As we all know the story goes Lord Krishna was very fond of butter and all dairy products. So dishes using milk, or milk products like dahi, white butter are included in the prasad(bhog).


On the auspicious occasion of Janmashtami,
I am praying for your happiness and prosperity
May Lord Krishna bless you today and forever
Wish you a Happy Janmashtami 🙏🙏

What is Kheer?

Kheer is an Indian pudding where rice is cooked with milk until creamy texture. Traditionally kheer is seasoned with cardamom and saffron.

Kheer is an all time favorite Indian dessert. All of us, in fact have grown up, enjoying it with the family and for all festivities, it's a must sweet at our home. Rice Kheer also brings back many memories of my childhood. I've learn this thick & creamy texture rice ki kheer from my papa(dad). Whenever we visit to my hometown, my dad make chawal ki kheer for us(for all siblings) and that will be finished in same day only. 😜😋😋
Chawal ki Kheer

Kheer is a rice pudding, originating from the Indian subcontinent, made by boiling rice, broken wheat, sabudana or vermicelli with milk and sugar; it is flavored with cardamom, raisins, saffron, cashews, pistachios or almonds. 

Rice Pudding is typically served during a meal or after a meal as a dessert. It is also known in some regions as payasam, payasa, and phirni, while in Bengal the payesh is a variation of Kheer.

How to make Coconut Cake with step by step photos recipe + Video - If you love coconut, like me then this is perfect cake for you. It has a fabulous coconut flavor, moist, and a perfectly crisp crust. 

Keep it covered at room temperature where it will stay deliciously fresh for a few days or covered in the fridge where it will stay fresh for up to a week.

What is coconut cake?

This eggless coconut cake is very easy and tender cake recipe to make without any fuss. Fabulously coconutty flavored cake topped with a desiccated coconut. Super easy, moist, fluffy and dense at the same time, this delicious cake is a total delight to the tastebuds😍😍
Eggless Coconut Cake


The cake turned out perfect, and I don’t need to tweak it at all. It was soft, dense and a little crispy on the outside, which is exactly what a loaf cake should be. 

I have posted quite a few eggless cakes recipes till now in my blog, but this recipe of eggless and simple coconut cake recipe is unique. Unlike the other cake recipes, the coconut cake is not just topped with desiccated coconut, but also mixed to the cake batter.

This is an eggless cake and uses yogurt and oil as an egg substitute. Both are my favourite ingredients and perfect substitute for eggs. It gives a wonderful texture to the cake. I use the saffron colour  touch up the celebration of Independence special, it's totally optional if you don't like it, just avoid it. In this cake the colour will make your cakes more attractive.

My situation is like that only. When he'll be fine little bit, I was down with cold and fever :( now I am little bit fine, so coming with an interesting baking recipe. After a decade I baked something, I remember last time I baked "Homemade Fudgy Walnut Brownie" during Christmas time, almost 8 months passed.

Today is the perfect day to post one of my favorite cake, today is Independence day and Raksha Bandhan as well. 

          Happy Independence Day + Raksha Bandhan to All

This time I have tried her coconut cupcake recipe, but I did some minor changes into the recipe, firstly pattern cupcake into loaf cake 😉, tutti frutti with chocochips

Notes 

1 . Instead of refined flour or APF you can use whole wheat flour or atta in the cake batter. Or use any gluten free flour.

2.  You can use same amount of butter instead of oil.

3. Baking time again differs from oven to oven, depends on the tin also… mine took around 35 mins flat for the cake to bake fully but what I would suggest is check after 30 mins then proceed accordingly.

4.Instead of vanilla essence you can use any flavour of your choice, like cardamom powder, nutmeg powder, cinnamon powder etc. 

5. Food colour is also optional but colour will make your cakes more attractive.

6. I used homemade curd , you can use market based dahi too.
