Gulab Kheer- Creamy, delicious, thick, traditional Indian Pudding made with tapioca pearls, sawa rice or barnyard millet, fox nut, milk, sweetener and rose petals. Sabudana is what we called tapioca and makhana to fox nut in India & Kheer refers to an Indian milk pudding. However, Sabudana and Makhana are often used in Indian cooking to make various dishes like pak, vada, khichdi and porridge. The name Gulab refers to rose petals.

Gulab kheer is often made with rice and milk but I am giving this pudding a different twist by adding tapioca, fox nut and millet in it this way this pudding can be easily consumed during fasting. This creamy pudding will give your vrat thali an exotic look.

Gulab Kheer is a perfect fusion of taste and aroma, which can be prepared without putting in much effort.
