This dessert usually elicits the same response from everyone - 'CHOCOLATE' kheer??? And why not I ask? Kheer can be made of anything combined with milk and sugar, its just that we are used to only rice or semiyaan kheer . Someone I know has even claimed to have eaten 'garlic' kheer (I can't even imagine what that tastes like)
This is the best 'emergency'/low on time dessert to whip up. It is also one of the more popular items on my catering menu ..
3 tablespoons sooji(semolina)
1/2 litre milk (I use cow's milk)
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa dissolved in half cup cold milk
1 tablespoon butter
1. In a heavy-bottomed pan, melt the butter. Add the sooji and roast on a slow flame till the sooji becomes changes colour slightly (about 2-3 minutes)
2. Add the milk and whisk continuously.Leave the milk on medium flame till the milk starts boiling. Add the sugar and cocoa-milk mixture and whisk. Reduce the flame to slow.
3. Keep stirring intermittently and turn off the gas when the kheer becomes thick in texture and there are slow,thick bubbles on the surface (takes about 5-6 minutes)
4. Cool the kheer(a must) , garnish with whatever you can find in your fridge (chocolate chips/raisins/walnuts/grated chocolate) and slllllllllurp away
5.When serving if you find that its turned too thick (it will thicken as it cools) ,you can add some cold milk or serve as it is and you can pass off the dessert as chocolate mousse :))))
A very close friend of mine had prospective mom in law and father in law coming over for dinner , I was asked to give dessert ideas and my idea was this Chocolate Kheer recipe..and guess what, the dinner had some really 'sweet' endings.......chirpy na!
