Punjabi Kheer Puda
Kheer Puda is a sweet dish. Authentically, this belongs to Punjabi Cuisine. Kheer puda is a monsoon special recipe of North India. This means kheer with malpua aka puda.
This is a combination of two sweet dishes i.e. kheer and puda. Kheer is made from rice (rice pudding), and this is served with sweet puda or pooda or poora.
Many people make malpua from maida or refined flour, but we make pua or malpua with wholeย wheat flour.
I have made this puda with sugar syrup. But to make this healthy, add jaggery powder to pua. Soak jaggery in a cup of water for 1 hr to dissolve it. Then add that water to wheat flour and make batter for puda.
This puda's specialty is adding fennel seeds (saunf) and black pepper seeds (kali mirch) to the sweet wheat flour batter.
How to make kheer puda?
Ingredients You'll Need
For Kheer
- Rice
- Milk
- Condensed milk
- Dry fruits
For malpua
- Wheat flour
- Saunf (fennel seeds)
- Kali Mirch (black pepper)
- Sugar - or jaggery powder
- Ghee - To pan fry the pua
Preparing Kheer (Rice Pudding)
Clean and wash rice properly. Soak it in water for 1 hour.
Transfer soaked rice to a pressure cooker. Add in 1 ltr of milk. Bring it to a boil.
Close the lid of the cooker. Simmer on a slow flame for 20 minutes, being careful not to whistle.
Once the pressure is released, open the lid and simmer for some more time until the milk is reduced by half.
Mash lightly with the help of a ladle or spoon. Add chopped dry fruits.
Now add condensed milk. Stir well and simmer for 5 minutes more.
Since condensed milk is sweet, adding extra sugar to the kheer is unnecessary.
Kheer or rice pudding is ready. Keep in refrigerator to cool.
Preparing Puda or Malpua
Add wheat flour, semolina flour, fennel seeds, and black pepper seeds to a mixing bowl and mix well.
In a bowl, heat water, add sugar, and boil until the sugar dissolves. Add saffron strands or edible food color (optional), and keep aside to cool.
Pour the sugar syrup into flour and mix slowly and gradually, stirring nicely. Make sure there are no lumps left.
Make a batter of smooth consistency. Don't make it very thin as we need a little thicker crepe.
Heat ghee in a pan. Put 1 spoon batter on it. repeat for other puda.
Flip to the other side when one side is cooked. Repeat for all puda.
Puda is ready. Serve puda with chilled kheer. Garnish with extra dry fruits.
This is such a great combination, just like rabdi jalebi. I loved this puda. You can also serve them as a single dessert. But together, it tastes awesome.
