Apple Kheer

Apple Kheer

When I was a kid I saw a movie called "khubsurat" featuring Rekha and Rakesh Roshan. That movie was awesome. But one scene was still imprinted in mind. That was a kitchen scene where Dina Pathak was preparing "apple kheer", which was Rekha's favourite in that film.

When I grow up, I tried that recipe. Initially it was failure, with many failure attempts and learning process I made that recipe perfect. On the eve of Diwali I am sharing my recipe of Apple Kheer.

Apple- 3 big

Milk- 750ml

Milkmaid- 3tbsp

Sugar- 4 to 5 tbsp

Paneer- 100gms

Salt to taste

Chopped nuts- 1/2cup

Ghee- 3tbsp

Green cardamom powder- 1tsp

In a deep button sauce pan add milk and reduce the milk up to half. 

Wash and clean apples. Peel and decore the apples. Grate the apples and keep aside. 

 

In a kadai heat 1tbsp of ghee  and add chopped nuts and fry up to brown and bring out to a bowl.

In the same kadai add more ghee and add grated apple and sauté up to dry. Then switch off the gas. 

In the reduced milk add condensed milk and salt and stir. Again add sugar to it. If you want more sweetness you can add more sugar. 

Crumble the paneer with hand and add this crumbled paneer to milk and switch off the gas.  Crumbled paneer thicken the milk. Then keep aside the milk mixture up to room temperature. 

When both fried apple and milk mixture come to temperature, then mix both. Mix it properly without any apple lump. Then add cardamom powder and fried nuts to it and mix. Then keep it in fridge to become chill. Serve the kheer chilled..
