Steps

45-55 mins.

1

Firstly: In a Saucepan-
Boil the milk & while continuously boiling it reduce it to half of its initial quantity-
At this point, add in the Bay Leaf & 2 Green Cardamoms- Slit-
While the milk is boiling: In the interim- We need to gently deep fry the Poha- For that, we’d require to heat up a wok/kadhai over the medium flame & add in sufficient amount of cooking oil/ghee or both together to deep fry the same- It should be deep fried but not at all browned- VVI
2

Add in the Milkmaid to it & the sugar (if you’re using it additionally), a pinch of saffron too, if you choose to do so-
Stir continuously while, at this point it’d tend to get thicker & catch the bottom of the pan easily hence, need to keep a close check on it while stirring as much as is possible- It’s now good time to add in the chopped dry fruits to it & mix everything well together until nicely combined and well incorporated
3

Add in the Rose Water too & then, add in the Fried Poha into it now- Give it all a really good mix & cook it for a couple of mins time & bring it to a boil before turning off the flame- Finally, add in the Cardamom Powder- Mix everything well enough to get well combined and nicely incorporated with each ingredients used into it-
Need to keep it a bit thin while putting off the flame since once it’s cooled down completely it’d get thickened substantially
4

This is required to be, for any ‘Kheer’ consistency Transfer it to a separate serving bowl: Garnish it your own way & serve it either Hot or Chilled (keep it in the refrigerator for about a couple of hours time before serving it)-
Both ways it tastes absolutely Divine & extremely flavourful & delectable-
ENJOY THIS DUSSHERA WITH THIS UNIQUE SWEET DISH- CHIRE’Aur PAYESH or KHEER POHA

A hardcore Bong- that has a tremendous wanderlust in her blood as well as that much passion for cooking new ideas and recipes & also, camouflaging certain recipes across the globe-Of course, all that maintains its heritage and cultures in its looks and taste both yet caters to the day’s call/requirement to be health conscious but a great foodie that’s innate in her genes and tries to satiate the crowd- Be ANY, with all that 😊💁🏻‍♀️👍🏻
