Recipe: Neha's Tender Coconut Kheer

Last updated on: October 12, 2024 21:57 IST

Along with dandiya and colourful dressing, post-fast feasting is the order of the day during Navratri, a festival known for its divine energy.

It can be nine nights of vrat-wali desserts!

Kheers are, of course, a rather sweet way to end our days of fasting and the varieties of upvaas-appropriate ones are mind-boggling. Chef Neha Deepak Shah has one more!

Her Vrat Wali Tender Coconut Kheer is a lovely marriage of tradition and innovation. The use of sama rice makes it a suitable option for fasting, while the tender coconut adds a refreshing new flavour.

Says Chef Neha on her FB site: 'Cooking is like love, it should be entered into with passion or not at all. For me, it came naturally'.
