Zafrani Jei Badaam ki Kheer / Saffron Oats Almonds Porridge
Some experiments leave you amazed and in an awe of the strength of the ingredients used. Zafrani Jei Badaam ki Kheer / Saffron Oats Almonds Porridge was one such experiment which left everybody in the family speechless and asking for more.
Jei or Jaee is Oats and Badaam is Almonds, Zafrani is Saffron infused.
We are relocating to Dallas in summer. It is time for me empty the kitchen cupboards so that I don’t have to transfer much of the open produce. This kheer originated in such need of finishing up the open box of oats and some almonds. So I took out the ingredients and started adding bit by bit, watching out carefully. Finally finished cooking, clicked and served with apprehension. There were oats and though I love them, can’t say the same about the family. Amit finished his bowl quietly and I kept looking at his face for the reaction and he swiftly took another bowl and finished that too.
I knew it at that moment that the dessert passed with flying colors. The demand went high and supply was low.
I think I am going to make my kheer more often with oats than the rice from now on. It was hearty, delicious and healthy.
Some more desserts or kheer from my blog are – Chawal ki kheer , sewayi ki kheer , sabudana kheer , kesariya paneer ki kheer and more.
This is how I made it!

Exciting, yes!
Please fix the caption. It should be ‘jei’, and not ‘jau’. ‘Jau’ is barley.
Thanks for pointing. Fixed
You are welcome.
P.S. You might want to fix the permalink too; or else google will catch it wrong. 🙂
