• Gavhachi kheer: Broken wheat sweet porridge in the bowl.

It was an ordinary day no rhyme or reason to demand a sweet. Yet when demanded have to make it for the sweet tooth Dad has. So I thought it woul be good to go traditional.

Ingredients

1/2 cup broken wheat

1 cup jaggery

4 cups water

1+ 1 tablespoon ghee

1/4 cup nuts and raisins

1/4 teaspoon cardamon powder

Heat the pressure cooker add 1 tablespoon of ghee and reserve the other. Fry the nuts till pinkish. Then add the broken wheat fry for 6-8 mins. Then add the jaggery, raisins and water and close the PC. Allow about 20 mins cooking time or 4-5 whistles. Open the lid and stir in the saved ghee and cardamon powder. Serve hot. The kheer should be sticky n slurpy.

This is not a very rich kheer though sweet yet nutritious with the broken wheat and jaggery. It is the old timers favorite.
