Hi Friends,

We Indians loves to have sweetmeats whenever or where ever. Since this is a festive season so I am sharing one of the favorite sweet dish and that is Chaler Payesh in Bengali or Kheer in Hindi.

Ingredients:

Milk 2 Liter

Tejpatta or Bay leaves 2

Elaichi  or Cardamom 2 or 3

Basmati Rice 11/2 handful

Milk Powder 2 teaspoons

Cashew nut,Raisins as per the taste

Ghee 1 teaspoon

Sugar, Salt as per the taste

Preparation:

Firstly boil the milk in a low flame,in it add tejpatta, elaichi. Afterwards add pinch of salt and add sugar as per the taste . In a bowl soak the rice for some time.For two liter milk need to give 2 handful rice. I have given 1/12 rice since I have used Basmati rice which will expand. Add the milk powder and stir continuously, add rice and then stir again and make the kheer or Payesh thick . In that add the crushed nuts and raisins and stir continuously in a low flame. Add  1 teaspoon of ghee for taste.
