Ingredients :
   Poha - 1.5 cups
   Sugar - 1.5 (you can adjust the sweetness)
   Cashews - A handful
   Raisins -  15 to 20 nos
   Pistachios - 10-15 (slice thinly)
   Chironji - 1 tbsp
   Green cardamom - 4 (peel and make powder)
   Full cream milk - 1 Liter
   Ghee 2 tbsp
   A pinch of salt

Method :

In a Kadai, add 1 tbsp of Ghee and fry the Cashews and Raisins and keep them aside.  Ensure it is not burnt and only the colour should change.  In the same Kadai on a low flame, roast the Poha and keep it aside.

Take milk in any vessel with heavy base and place it on flame to simmer. When you see gentle boil in the milk, add Poha and mix gently. Keep the flame low and stir at regular intervals for 2 to 3 minutes to prevent browning at the base.  Let it simmer until the Poha puffs up and is nicely blended in the milk. Now add the sugar and Chironji and stir it at regular intervals.  Add the friend and chopped dry fruits to the kheer and mix well. Let the kheer simmer until it gets thick and dense in consistency. Stir at regular intervals.  
Now mix cardamom powder to the kheer.  Add a pinch of salt and mix well... Add 1 tsp of ghee in the Kheer and put off the flame.  It takes just 15 minutes to prepare the kheer.  

Your delicious Poha kheer is now done and ready, turn off the flame and transfer to another bowl.


Garnish with some chopped dry fruits and serve warm or chilled. Enjoy!  Do let me know your valuable feedback and comments!
