Seb ki Kheer

Thought the only dessert you could make with apples is apple pie? Well think again! This Mughlai recipe of apples cooked with sugar, milk and raisins and flavoured with saffron, cardamom and rose water is a treat for all your senses. Rubbing the saffron with your fingertips while dissolving it in the warm water helps release more flavour and a lovely colour from it. You could also put in a few small pieces of diced apple along with the grated apple for some extra body.

Hi, I made this the first time and it came out excellent. Last week I made it twice on the same day and it curdled both the times once i added the apples. Please please let me know where I might be going wrong since I love this recipe. Thx

   Thank you for your review. There can be 2 reasons why the kheer must have curdled- 1. your milk must have been spoilt 2. your apples must be old. We re-tried the recipe after your comment and it was perfect, we have also standarized the recipe more by writing the exact timings for each step... Hope you re make it and it turns out great. Happy Cooking !!

Its a great recipe :) A welcome change from the regular rice kheer. I don't like very sweet kheer and thus reduced the quantity of sugar.
