NOTES

*Make sure that the oranges you are going to use are sweet. Sour oranges will spoil the taste of kheer.

** The purpose of arrowroot flour is just to shorten the time of coming milk to half. If you don’t have arrowroot flour, no issues. Let milk reduce to half on its own terms.

In case you are not observing fast, you can also use cornflour in place of arrowroot flour.

*** Zest is prepared by scraping or cutting from the outer, orange coloured skin of orange. It is used to add flavor to foods.

To make orange zest, grate the outer skin of the orange peel. Be careful as you should only grate the upper orange coloured layer of the orange peel and not the white inner portion of orange peel.

***** Don’t add orange into milk unless milk is completely cool otherwise milk will curdle.

*****This kheer tastes best only if served chilled.
