Besan kheer | kadalamaavu payasam is a creamy and nutty flavored payasam | kheer with besan, ghee, milk and sugar as the main ingredients. The slow roasting of besan in ghee, as we do for besan ladoo, emits a nice nutty flavour and adds a nice flavour to the kheer. A quick and easy kheer recipe which you can make during Navaratri neivedhyam and also serve for guests. Check out my complete collection of Navaratri recipes. These cute bowls are gifted by my blogger friend anu, she sent this through her sister who stays nearby my house.
The besan kheer tasted very nice after it was kept in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours.
