on Jul 10, 2024 I like making some more Gujarati recipes at home. Try them – Gujarati Dal, Dhebra, Piyush, Mango Matho, and Kathiyawadi Tadka Chaas. Indian desserts are my weakness. I like to have something sweet after meals and always ensure I have something sweet in the fridge. Today, I tried this Gujarati Doodh Pak. It’s a close cousin of the classic Rice Kheer with a few extra ingredients added to it. It tasted pretty good, and now I am sorted for the next 2-3 days 🙂
About Doodh Pak
Doodh Pak (Dudhpak) is a Gujarati-style rice pudding with white rice cooked in milk and flavored with saffron, nutmeg, and cardamom. Nuts are added to give a nice crunch. Milk – Use whole milk (full-fat milk) for the best result. Spices – Flavor the dessert with saffron, nutmeg powder, and cardamom powder. Nuts – I used almonds, cashew nuts, pistachios, and chironji (charoli). You can use any nuts that you prefer. Others – You will also need granulated white sugar and ghee. Once the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low. Drain the rice and add it to the pan. Add 10-15 strands of saffron and mix well. Add the following ingredients and mix well.
6 tablespoon granulated white sugar 1 tablespoon ghee ¼ cup chopped dried nuts (I used almonds, cashew nuts, pistachios) 1 tablespoon chiroji ½ teaspoon cardamom powder ½ teaspoon nutmeg powder
Refrigerate for 2-3 hours and serve chilled.
