Dates Kheer ~ for his birthday | Low fat

Tweet

It's my sweetheart's birthday today and its his first birthday after venturing into fatherhood. More responsibilities and hence he didn't even start talking about the celebrations. We knew that we couldn't have the celebrational eat-out what with the kid and being in a a small town. But the day is always special to me and I couldn't let go as such.

Why should I when I can cook and bake to some extent now??? I couldn't bake and frost a cake for him as the kid takes up most of the time these days and so ordered a chocolate buttercream cake for him and narrowed down on the birthday menu.

He came down to spend 3 days with us and I pampered him with his favorites on all the three days. He is an ardent fan of anything deep fried and paneer being one of his favorites, I didn't give a second thought on incorporating paneer in all the dishes. So the meal was paneer mixed veg biryani, Paneer fingers, crispy fried garlic prawns and noodles cutlet (recipes to come)... and we finished with this thick and delicious dates kheer.

Dates puree in thickened milk topped with ghee roasted almonds and no added sugar

~*What U Need*~ Dates - 12 Almonds - 8 Ghee - 1 tbsp Milk - 1 1/2 + 1/2 cup Cardamom - 1

How I Made it:
Soak the dates in the half cup of warm milk for half an hour. Once soft, grind this to a smooth paste.
Chop the almonds finely. In a heavy bottomed vessel, heat ghee, add the chopped almonds and saute till brown. To this add the remaining milk and reduce it to 1 cup.

Add the dates puree and crushed cardamom, allow to boil. Turn off the heat. Serve chilled topped with slivered almonds.

So thats it Folks...
With Love,

Signs off!!!
