  37. I made this delicacy today as Neivedyam for Navaratri day 3. It is lip smacking and my entire family loved it. Thanks a ton for this classic recipe.

  38. I tried this recipe today. It came out very well except for one reason. I could see top creamy layer of the milk in the kheer which my hubby doesn't like it. How am I supposed to avoid it other than filtering?

    1. If you boil the milk surely the creamy layer will formed. I didn't understand what you are exactly saying. IS the it the malai (paal edu)

    1. Paal edu will surely come when you boil the milk for extra time. That is the highlight in all the kheers. If you do not want,pressure cook the carrots in little water and add it to chilled milk. Use 1/2 cup of condensed milk to get the rich taste.
