Dalia kheer looks very delicious and healthy too. Liked the way Dalia cooked in milk and taste of ghur in kheer, also liked the flavors of cardamom and nutmeg powder.
Soothing and nourishing recipe is this dalia kheer. Inspite of it being a post pregnancy recipe we enjoyed making it this Sunday as the weather was horrible and it was lovely to have.
Dalia Kheer sounds delightful. It is so flavourful and delish. Beautifully presented.
