Little Millet Kheer is so inviting and refreshing. It not only adds a warmth to your meals as an amazing aftermeal Dessert but also makes a perfect accompaniment too.
Not to mention it's healthy too. With both Sugar and Jaggery that go into making this, you can have a blast. Millets are a healthier choice always for many reasons. The best thing is to soak them overnight whenever one plans to cook them as they become easy to digest. The Phytic acid present in them gets reduced when they are soaked and hence aids in quick digestion.
Little millet is rich in Magnesium and hence improves Heart health. It has a low glycemic index as well as rich in dietary Fiber therefore it's absolutely recommended for people with Diabetes. Not only that, it has Niacin compound which helps in the reduction of Cholesterol in the body.

Steps

35-40 minutes

1

The first thing to carry out is to dry roast the millet. Do it on a low heat. As soon as it turns aromatic, take it off the heat. Roast for about 4-5 minutes. That would be enough. Let it cool down and then soak in clean drinking water for a good 4-5 hours or better still overnight.
2

Bring milk to a rolling boil on a high heat at first. As soon as it starts boiling vigorously, lower the heat. Add either cardamom powder or whole one's to it. It's absolutely one's own choice. Add the soaked and drained millet too. Mix and keep simmering on a low for the next 20 minutes.
3

After about 25-30 minutes, add sugar or jaggery powder. Mix well. Cook until 5-6 minutes more. Fry chopped almonds and other nuts in a tablespoon of ghee and add it to the kheer.
4

Serve it hot or cold garnished with some more of chopped almonds. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
