Strawberry Kheer Parfait

With the little one being more active day by day, I get little time to myself for blogging and hence the delay this time. Recently we started solids for her and I wanted to make a sweet dish for this auspicious start My hubby and I both don't have a sweet tooth but prefer it once a while. 
Come summer, delicious and fresh strawberries are available all over the market and I thought let me modify an Indian sweet and that's how I came up with the Strawberry Kheer Parfait. Parfait is a layered dessert with fruit/ice cream or any other sweet of your choice.





















Ingredients

• 7-8 fresh strawberries
• 1/2 cup Basmati Rice, washed and soaked
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 tbsp Elaichi powder / Cardamom Powder
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 1/2 cup plain yoghurt
• 1 tsp Saffron Strands
• Water as needed

Method

• Take a saucepan and add milk, sugar, soaked rice and bring to a boil
• Meanwhile, take 5-6 strawberries, add water and grind to a smooth paste or juice like consistency
• Add this to the milk and rice mixture and mix well
• Add the elaichi powder and saffron strands and mix well
• Bring to a boil until the mixture is nice and thick
• Once cool, take a glass and layer the kheer and yogurt and garnish with fresh strawberries.
• You can create multiple layers depending on the size of the glass, however, make sure to have a 3:1 ratio with the kheer and yoghurt
