Muskmelon Kheer

Description
Fruity & cooling kheer!
Ingredients
  • 1 muskmelon/ cantaloupe - peel (remove seeds & cube)
  • 1/2 cup powdered jaggery/ gur or to taste
  • 2 freshly extracted thick coconut milk (only fresh please, may add some of the second extract too (see how to below))
  • a pinch of salt
  • 5 tablespoons poha/ beaten rice of the thin variety (for thickness)
Instructions
  1. Chop the muskmelon into cubes & transfer to a bowl. Add the jaggery and mash and mix lightly with hands. You don`t have to mash them completely but do need the bite in the kheer. Mash them lightly just enough to release their juices a bit.
  2. Add the coconut milk, pinch of salt and mix. Taste and if not sweet enough, add more jaggery.
  3. Wash the poha under clean running water for few seconds only, then squeeze to remove excess water and add to the kheer. Serve chilled or at room temp.
Note
If the kheer turns too thick after sometime, add some more coconut milk to thin it down.
