I fondly remember dad whipping up fresh cream (with a fork) to make a fruit salad custard for dessert. Despite the delicious & elaborate mains that mum cooked, it was the dessert that stole the show and would be the talk of post-dinner conversations with friends and family. A memory from my childhood that has stayed with me. This kheer recipe has now become a regular in our pre-Diwali celebrations at home and his dessert continues to steal the show.
Foxtail Millet is one of the oldest and widely used millet throughout Asia for centuries. This recipe is a delicious & a healthier version of kheer/payasam that is traditionally made with rice.
