Not Just Oranges...! It was a short story that I studied probably in my high school days. Though now I only have a faint idea of the story and absolutely forgot the author's name but the title, the title got stuck in my head ever since and every time I come across an orange that is what goes through my mind "Not Just Oranges!" And today I find it apt as it is not just oranges but orange kheer.
Orange kheer is an uber-delicious dessert that can be made in just few minutes neither does it require many ingredients.
Oranges are an excellent source of Vitamin C and are full of dietary fiber. They are rich in carotenoid compounds that are converted to Vitamin A and help in good eye health and protect vision.
My dad likes eating mangoes chopped and drenched in milk though I haven't tasted it replacing mangoes with oranges seemed a fine idea. Now going by the size of oranges that I had as you can see in the pic above only 1 orange sufficed me but depending on the size of the oranges that you possess increase the amount.
Ingredients:
- Oranges - 2 to 3 medium
- Milk - 250 ml
- Sugar - 4 tbsp
- Cardamom powder - 1/2 tsp
- Cashew nuts - 10 to 12 nos
- Vanilla essence - 1 tsp (optional)
Method:
- Peel the oranges, deseed and chop into small pieces.
- Heat milk in a vessel.
- Add sugar (increase or decrease the amount by your preference) followed by cardamom powder.
- Add roughly chopped cashew nuts and bring to a boil.
- Remove from flame and allow it to cool.
- Add chopped oranges.
- Serve chilled.
Serve this tasty n delicious Orange kheer on festivals or to your guests or simply to satisfy your sweet tooth.
