Apple kheer

Oct 10, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe

Kheerni or payasam has been around for ages. We make so many of them. Apple kheer is one such easy dessert. Fruit based desserts are great because they derive sweetness from their fruit. This helps you enjoy the sweet treat without adding commercial sugar. I have a sweet tooth so I try to have sweets with natural sugar instead of white sugar.

Another great vegan snack you can have is air fried apples. They have no sugar and just a hint of oil. You may use ghee if you are a vegetarian.

There are many recipes of payasam or payesh. It can be made with flour, lentils, grains and also with fruits. Sitaphal kheer, aam kheer, anjeer kheer,nungu payasam or palm fruit payesh. All of them are eggless but only some are gluten free. Gluten free kheerni recipes can be consumed during Navratri, sawan and Mahashivratri fasting.

Hindu fasting period

Vrat or fasting is an integral part of Hinduism. We fast on Sawan Mondays (Jul-Aug) and Mahashivratri day in February to pray to Lord Shiva. Similarly fasting is also done during Chaitra Navratri in Mar-Apr and Shardiya Navratri which falls in Oct-Nov for 9 days when pray to Shakti or Mata Rani.While Chaitra Navratri ends with Ram Navmi , Shardiya navratre ends with Dussehra or Vijayadashmi. Apart from this fasting is also done during Janamashtami, Satyanarayana pooja every fortnight and Full moon or Poornima. During the fasting period, we usually eat gluten free flours, tubers and dairy products only for an one time meal. Egg meat and fish are not eaten, nor is wheat and rice.

The sweetness of apples differs according to the season and variety. If you like extra sweet kheer, please add sugar accordingly.

Top tip

When blended apple puree is added to saucepan, it should be cool. If it is still hot, the milk will curdle.
