Ingredients

  • Milk – 500 ml
  • Sugar – 1 tbsp
  • Oranges – 2
  • Cardamom powder – 1/8 tsp

Instructions

  • Bring ½ litre milk to a boil. Reduce heat, add sugar and simmer on medium heat till the milk thickens and reduces to half. Sprinkle cardamom powder. Stir well. Remove and cool. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile peel the oranges. Remove the fibre and skin of each juicy orange segment. Take out the spiky orange pulp from each segment.
  • Add the orange pulp to chilled payesh. (If you add orange pulp to hot milk it will curdle).
  • Chill orange ki kheer in the refrigerator for an hour.
  • Serve Bengali Kheer Kamla for dessert.

Notes

  • You can add ½ a can of condensed milk to 500ml milk for a thicker consistency.
  • Make sure you add the fruit pulp to cool/chilled milk. For a strong orange flavoured kheer, mix in the orange pulp to chilled milk and refrigerate overnight. Serve chilled the next day.
