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.
