    Dates and Nuts Kheer

    Festive season is upon us. Navarathri is coming right now, later diwali. All we need to make out festive occasions even brighter is some easy delicious sweets.

    Sweets like halwa or barfi or even a simple kheer would brighten those special occasions.

    Check out my Most popular halwa recipes

    1. Sooji Halwa
    2. Beetroot Halwa
    3. Carrot Halwa
    4. Moong Dal Halwa

    You will need a total of 30 mins to make this kheer. You can soak the nuts in milk for less time if you want. But make sure you grind till smooth. If you don't have much time on hand then this kheer is best.

    What all Nuts can you use for this Kheer?

    You can use any nuts as you like and as you can afford.

    • Cashews and Almonds are best since it adds so much taste to the halwa
    • Pistachios add a rich flavour
    • Dates adds nice sweetness
    • Raisins and sultanas can be added for extra sweetness
    • Addition of figs and apricots adds texture to the halwa.

    Ingredients
      

    • Mixed Nuts - 2 cups I used a mix of cashews, pistachios, walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts
    • Dates - 10
    • Sugar - ¾ cup
    • Warm Milk - 4 to 5 cups
    • Ghee - 2 tblsp
    • Cardamom powder - 1 tsp

    Instructions
     

    • Take nuts and dates in a bowl, Add in warm milk and let it soak for 30 mins.
    • Now take it in a blender and puree till smooth.
    • Heat 1 tblsp ghee in a kadai. Add in pureed nuts. Saute for 5 mins on low heat till the raw smell leaves.
    • Now add in sugar or jaggery and mix well. Keep cooking on low heat till sugar melts and thickens.
    • Add in milk and mix well. Simmer till it gets thick. Add cardamom powder and mix well.
    • Serve warm.

    Notes

    1)You can soak nuts and dates for 1 hour for better grinding.
    2)Grind the paste coarse if you want kheer with little texture.
    3)You can add more dates if you want to reduce sugar.
    4)Adding a little saffron would enhance the flavour.
