I made Moog Dal Payasam yesterday. It was too good!!! I would like to make the Lauki Kheer some time soon. My sis-in-law makes delicious Badam Kheer. I am sharing her recipe with you all. Ingredients: Badam - 250 grams Carrots - 3-4 Sugar - 3 tablespoons Milk - 5 cups Method: Blanch badaam, and steam cook the carrots after peeling them. Grind the badam to a fine paste and grind the carrots too. A bit of milk could be added while grinding instead of water. Cook the paste for sometime, until the raw smell goes and add more milk and keep stirring on a medium flame. When it starts to bubble add the sugar and cook further for another few minutes. It can be served hot or cold. It is very good for children.

Hi Piya, I love your Rasmalai recipe!!it's mouth watering......can you tell me what's the temp. should I put in ferinheight? 400 F is ok? thanks,
Mouth-watering recipe. I remember eating this while in school days in a religious function. It is called channa payas - if I am right.
Hi Friends A nice thread with mouth-watering kheers. Same as channa payas, I remember eating gulab-jamun payas and boondi payas long back in religious festivals / feasts. I guess its just adding small gulab-jamuns to the traditional payas/ kheer and in the same way adding sweet boondi to the traditional payas/ kheer. I am not sure about these recipes.
