Kheer - A Traditional Indian Dessert
Creamy Rice Kheer, also known as Indian Rice Pudding, is made with 3 simple ingredients: sugar, rice, and milk. It is the quintessential Indian dessert that every Indian child grows up eating. You can flavor it with cardamom, nuts, rose water or saffron to give it a little extra excitement. I like to add cinnamon and clove to mine to spice it up a bit and I also use Maple Syrup instead of sugar for sweetener. I also like to make mine plant-based or vegan, which is very simple to do and very tasty!
Kitchari
Kitchari (also called khichdi or khichri) is a one-pot dish that is a basic staple in Ayurveda. It is very nourishing and easy to digest. It is cooked until it reaches a porridge-like consistency.
Be sure to include the ginger powder to reduce excess Vata or Kapha conditions. Leave out the mustard seeds if you are looking to reduce an excess Pitta problem.
