Jai Shri Radhe, Jai Shri Krishna!
Today we are preparing a dessert that beautifully blends ancient wisdom with modern wellness – A Sugar free Siaphal, Rajgira & Makhana Kheer.
This is not your usual kheer – this is something truly unique, crafted with ingredients that nourish your body, soothe your soul, and satisfy your sweet cravings without a single grain of refined sugar. Whether you’re observing a vrat (fast), managing your diet, pr simply in the mood for a wholesome sweet dish, this recipe is a perfect fit.
Let’s talk about the stars of this dish –
- Sitaphal (Custard Apple) – a naturally sweet and creamy fruit, rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fiber. It not only adds natural sweetness but also a luxurious texture to our kheer.
- Rajgira (Amaranth) – a powerhouse of nutrition and a vrat-friendly grain. It’s gluten-free, high in protein, and brings a lovely earthiness to the dish.
- Makhana (Fox Nuts) – light, crunchy, and full of calcium and good fats. They soak up the milk beautifully and add an interesting bite to every spoonful.
Together, these ingredients simmer in rich, full-cream milk, enhanced with a touch of cardamom and garnished with crunchy nuts, to create a dessert that is both festive and healthy.
What makes this kheer even more special is its no-sugar approach. We rely purely on the natural sweetness of ripe sitaphal to sweeten this dish — making it perfect for diabetics, health-conscious individuals, and those following sattvic or fasting diets.
So whether it’s a festive day, a fasting day, or just a day you want to treat yourself with something divine — this kheer is your answer.
