Introduction: Welcome back to the channel, everyone! Today, I’m super excited to share with you one of my all-time favorite dessert recipes - Gud Ka Khir. If you're a fan of rich, flavorful, and hearty desserts, this recipe is perfect for you. Gud Ka Khir is an age-old dish that has been passed down through generations in Indian households. Traditionally prepared in winters, this dish is made with the goodness of jaggery, rice, and milk, and it’s loaded with essential nutrients, making it not just a treat, but also a comforting food for the soul.
So, let’s get started with the recipe!
Ingredients:
Before diving into the cooking process, let’s check out the ingredients you’ll need:
Rice (preferably basmati): ½ cup
Full Cream Milk: 4 cups
Jaggery (Gud): ½ cup, grated or chopped into pieces
Ghee: 2 tablespoons
Cardamom Pods: 4-5, crushed (for aroma)
Cashews: 8-10 (for crunch)
Almonds: 8-10 (sliced)
Raisins: 8-10 (optional but adds a nice sweetness)
Saffron Strands: 5-6 (optional, but it gives a beautiful color and fragrance)
Water: 2 cups
Sugar (optional): 1-2 tablespoons (if you prefer your dessert a bit sweeter)
Pinch of Salt (to balance the sweetness)
These are the basic ingredients, and if you'd like, you can customize them by adding your favorite nuts or fruits. This dish is so versatile that you can experiment with different toppings and flavors!
Step-by-Step Recipe:
Preparing the Rice: Begin by washing the rice thoroughly to remove excess starch. Once washed, soak the rice in water for about 20-30 minutes to make it cook faster and more evenly. After soaking, drain the water from the rice and set it aside.
Boiling the Milk: In a heavy-bottomed pan, pour in the milk and place it on medium heat. Let the milk come to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. The milk will start to reduce and thicken, which is exactly what we want for a creamy texture in the Khir.
Cooking the Rice: Once the milk has started boiling, add the soaked and drained rice to the milk. Stir well, making sure the rice is submerged in the milk. Reduce the heat to low and let the rice cook gently in the milk. Stir occasionally to avoid burning, and cook the rice for about 20 minutes or until it’s soft and tender. If the milk evaporates too quickly, add a little water to keep the consistency thick but not dry.
Adding Jaggery and Ghee: While the rice is cooking, let’s prepare the jaggery. Cut the jaggery into small pieces or grate it. Once the rice is cooked and the milk is thickened, it’s time to add the jaggery. Add the grated jaggery to the pan and stir gently until the jaggery dissolves completely. At this stage, you can also add a pinch of salt, which helps to balance out the sweetness of the jaggery.
Now, add ghee to the mixture. This will enhance the flavor and give the dish a nice, rich texture. Stir it in and let the Gud Ka Khir simmer for another 5-7 minutes. The jaggery will melt into the milk, giving the pudding a beautiful caramel color and a rich, sweet taste.
Adding Spices and Dry Fruits: For added flavor, we’ll be adding crushed cardamom pods. Cardamom is an aromatic spice that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the jaggery. Add 4-5 crushed cardamom pods to the Khir and stir.
Now, it’s time to add the dry fruits. Add cashews, almonds, and raisins to the Gud Ka Khir and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. This will allow the dry fruits to absorb the flavors and add a delightful crunch to every bite.
For a more luxurious touch, you can add saffron strands soaked in a little warm milk. This will not only give the pudding a vibrant golden hue but will also add a fragrant and delicate aroma to the dish.
Final Touches: After all the ingredients have come together and the pudding has reached a thick, creamy consistency, turn off the heat. Your Gud Ka Khir is ready to be served! You can serve it warm or chilled, depending on your preference. I personally love it served warm during the colder months, as it feels incredibly comforting.
Serving Suggestions: To serve your Gud Ka Khir, you can garnish it with extra chopped nuts, saffron strands, or a drizzle of ghee for added richness. If you like your dessert a little extra sweet, you can drizzle some honey on top. For a modern twist, try serving it in small bowls or shot glasses for individual portions, perfect for a party or festive occasion.
