Here I am preparing the Maharashtrian style rice pudding where rice, fresh coconut and milk are used to make this appealing sweet dish.It is also the easiest dessert to cook for many auspicious occassions.

It is often served with puri’s.This delicious rice kheer can be made for any festival or celebration or also as a sweet dessert which you can serve after meals.

Although the main ingredient is fresh ground coconut, there is also a tiny amount of rice used. It gives thickness to the kheer and also makes it creamy. Both rice and fresh coconut ground separately and are then cooked in milk, until creamy and rich.
