About Chikoo Kheer (Sapota Kheer)
Chikoo Kheer (Sapota Kheer) is a delicious twist on the classic kheer recipe, in which fresh chikoo is added. Also called sapota in some parts of India, chikoo is a tropical fruit with a unique taste. It is high in fiber and helps digestion. The fruit is also a powerhouse of vitamins and is a wonderful food for children and the old. The tropical sweet taste of sapota pairs well with the rice pudding and makes for a great dessert for festivals, special occasions, and vrat days (Hindu fasting). For a vegan version, you can replace it with any plant-based milk, such as oat, coconut, almond, or soy milk. Rice – Use any short-grain, slightly sticky rice to make the kheer. Chikoo, also known as sapota, is a tropical fruit that is available in Indian grocery stores throughout the year. Sugar – Granulated white sugar is traditionally used to sweeten the kheer. Since chikoo is very sweet in itself, be careful when adding any extra sugar. Dried Nuts – Add slivered nuts like almonds, pistachios, and cashew nuts for a nice crunch.
