Most of you would have had Chawal ki kheer, but do you know that we can make a delicious kheer with cauliflower? I tried this cauliflower kheer today and everyone in the house fell in love with it. The kheer has a lovely texture and taste and can be eaten warm or chilled. We personally like it chilled . Here is the recipe.

Slivers of almonds and pistachios for garnishing

Drain the water.
Repeat the process 2-3 times.
Wash the boiled cauliflower under running water for a minute.
Blend the boiled rice and boiled cauliflower in a blender to make a coarse paste.

When it comes to a boil, add cauliflower and rice mixture and saffron strands.
