SHAHI RICE KHEER/ RICE PUDDING

Yaaaaayyyy!!!!! My blog’s 1 month anniversary.

Celebrations n sweets go hand in hand.

I was thinking what to make for this special occasion and then thought of dedicating this first month’s celebratory post to those who have always inspired me, encouraged me n loved me unconditionally.

My Parents, Hubby darling, my Friends and last but not the least my SON.

Thought of making KHEER/ RICE PUDDING.

Why KHEER????

Because I think my Mom makes the best Kheer in this world. My Son is fond of sweets but this particular dish he always looks forward to. My hubby who doesn’t have a sweet tooth otherwise digs into this dish. And my friends who always love whatever I make for them, but for this particular dish I’ve always got appreciation and praises.

Passing on to you all my Mom’s rec(with a little bit of add ons)
