Suji Apple kheer

Instructions:

Prepare Dates:

   – Chop dates finely. If dates are hard, you can soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes to soften, then chop or blend into a paste.

Heat Ghee in a Pan:

   – Use medium heat to melt the ghee.

Add Suji:

   – Add suji (semolina) and sauté until it turns light golden brown.

Include Grated Apple and Chopped Dates:

   – Mix in the grated apple and chopped dates. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the apple and dates to soften and release their natural sweetness.

Pour in the Milk:

   – Gradually add the milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. Continue to cook over low-medium heat until the suji is fully cooked and the kheer thickens (roughly 10 minutes).

Add Cardamom Powder:

   – Sprinkle in a pinch of cardamom powder for flavor and stir well.

Serve:

   – Let the kheer cool to a warm temperature appropriate for toddlers. Serve and enjoy!
