About Dry Fruits Kheer

Dry Fruits Kheer is an Indian milk pudding whose rich flavor comes from dry fruits powder and dry fruits. It comes from those old traditional Indian sweets where milk and dry fruits were used to create something special during festivals and happy occasions. This is the basic idea behind this kheer.

This recipe has a mild sweet taste, nuttiness with a hint of saffron and a slight aroma. Plus, the mix of figs, raisins and dry fruits adds beautiful layers of flavor to every spoonful. You can always change it up by adding some dates or using whatever nuts you have on hand. Condensed milk makes it even richer and slightly thicker and it also does not require long cooking.

This kheer is versatile, you can make a small portion to satisfy your sweet cravings or a big bowl for a family gathering. It has a smooth and creamy texture, with a few crunchy bits of chopped dry fruits here and there. It feels filling but still light on the stomach, so it is perfect for fasting days or any special day.

I usually make this when I want something quick but rich. It’s simple and everyone likes it. Sometimes I keep it cold, sometimes I serve it slightly warm, both taste great.

Easy and delicious dry fruits and dry fruits kheer is prepared in minutes. Only the milk reducing part takes time, otherwise if you have dry fruits powder it will be done quickly. I always have dry fruits powder as I make and store it in bulk, use a spoon to make kheer/rabri.

Dry Fruits Kheer Ingredients

• Milk – To make the kheer creamy and rich, I have used full cream milk. If you want, you can also use low fat milk.
• Sugar – This adds sweetness to the kheer. You can adjust how much you add or leave out the figs if they are already very sweet.
• Fig – I just cut it into a few pieces and added, it gives a nice sweetness and chewy texture to the kheer. You can change the dates if you want.
• Raisin – I added raisins for a little sweetness. They provide soft chewability. You can omit or use sultanas instead.
• condensed milk – This adds sweetness to the kheer and makes the kheer a little thick. If you want a lighter version then you can skip it but then cook on low flame for longer time.
• ground nuts – I have used cashews, almonds and pistachio powder. This makes the kheer creamy and nutritious.
• chopped pistachios – I used chopped whole pistachios for garnishing. This increases the crispiness and taste. You can use any dry fruits for topping.
• Ghee – I have used melted ghee to fry figs and raisins. It adds aroma and light richness. You can skip if you want.
• saffron strands – I have added a pinch of saffron just for color and aroma. If not available you can skip.

Expert Tips

• Choose good quality nuts – I usually choose fresh cashews, almonds and pistachios. Old dry fruits give less taste.
• grind dry fruits coarsely – I have found that coarse grinding works best, do not over grind or the kheer will become sticky.
• lightly fry dry fruits – I added the raisins and figs to the melted ghee for a few seconds. Gives good aroma and makes fruits soft.
• scrape the sides while baking – I usually scrape the sides of the pan so that the milk does not stick to the bottom.
• adjust stability – Kheer becomes thick when it cools, stop it when it coats the ladle lightly. If you want it thicker then boil more.

serving and storage

Serve it as a dessert during festivals or immediately after meals, chilled or lukewarm. You can keep the remaining kheer in the refrigerator for a day, it tastes good the next day also. Avoid storing it for a long time as milk and figs release water and the kheer may become watery.

general questions and answers

1.Can I use only one type of walnuts?

Yes, you can use only cashews or pistachios. Slight change in taste but kheer still tastes good.

2.Can I add more dry fruits?

Yes, you can add more figs, raisins or chopped dates. I usually adjust according to taste.
