Directions
- Before you begin, reduce the 500g of whole milk until it thickens into a custard-like consistency, then set it aside.
- Peel the palm fruits and rub them in a woven basket to extract the juice. Then, filter the juice thoroughly through a fine sieve. ≈ 8 min
- Heat the filtered juice in a saucepan over low heat.
- Once you have reduced and thickened the mixture, add half of the coconut and the powdered sugar, then stir constantly to prevent sticking.
- Once the sugar has melted and the mixture has thickened again, add the liquid milk and the remaining coconut, then mix well.
- Keep the heat low throughout the entire cooking process.
- Once the kheer has reached the desired thickness, turn off the heat, then add the reserved khoya and a little coconut for mixing. ≈ 4 min
