Easy Kheer Recipe

I was thumbing through a free magazine that my friend picked up while grocery shopping at Mollie Stone’s. After picking through all the ads, I noticed a Kheer recipe. Kheer is a South Asian dessert (I think there’s some New Year’s significance to it). You can find it at a few sit-down Indian restaurants, on their dessert menu. It’s a very sweet rice dessert, usually served chilled. The ingredients below are quite affordable…and if you make this you’ll get an idea of how much you’re overpaying, the next time you want to order this at the restaurant!

Yes yes, something is afoot. Grubgirl has been spending a lot of time South of Market, near 2nd street. Why? We’ll go into that later. The main point though is that these new regions have left my stomach anxiously looking for grub bargains for breakfast and lunch.

Fortunately, Mehfil is here. Also know by some locals as “Curry in a Hurry,” this place runs a brisk takeout business with North Indian specials that range from $5 - $7. Yes, folks. The $5 includes one of four options, at least one of which is a meat. There’s a bigger Tandoori special for $7 where you get something other than Basmati rice and the entree.
