Badam-Sooji Ki Kheer [Almond-Semolina Milk Pudding]

Semolina or Cream of White [Sooji/Suji/ Rava] and Almond pudding is a good combination of carbohydrates and proteins. This can be a healthy snack/dessert for infants and toddlers, provided sugar is added to minimum. This kheer is equally liked by adults and is prepared the same way with little variation.


For Infants and Toddlers [12-36 months]

Ingredients:


Semolina [Rava or Sooji] - 3 tbsp
Whole Milk - 2 cups
Sugar - just enough to make it little sweet
Raw Almond - 8
Clarified Butter [Ghee] - 1tsp

Method:

  • Soak almonds overnight or blanch them in boiling water. Remove the skin and make a smooth paste with milk in a regular mixer. Add more milk to finely grind the almond and keep the paste aside
  • Heat ghee in thick bottomed pan and roast semolina till it starts releasing aroma
  • Slowly add milk and almond paste and cook till semolina softens and reaches the desired consistency [keep stirring to to break lumps if any]
  • Add sugar and its ready to serve warm or cold !
For Adults

Just increase the amount of sugar as per your taste and throw in some nuts and raisins with a dash of cardamom powder.
