According to the Hindu Solar calender, another new year is here which we generally celebrate through the festival of Baisakhi, ushering in a new beginning. The root of this festival is deeply associated with the season of harvest. Farmers celebrate the initiation of a harvest season with Baisakhi. To cherish the spirit of festivity, we generally indulge in various sweet and savoury delicacies and make merry with our closed ones. For this year's grand Baisakhi celebration, one of our favourite dessert recipes is this dry fruit kheer recipe.
We love this rich and creamy dry fruit kheer for the variations of texture that it brings with the fruity dessert recipe. Along with the creaminess of milk, nuts and fruits, this dessert and its crunchy texture is what we love the most, which allows us to have a contrast of the textures.
Moreover, this dry fruit kheer recipe comes with a healthy dessert fix tag, which we absolutely dig! Almonds and pistas are considered to be great sources of protein and vitamins. Again, both of them contain a good amount of fibre and minerals as well. Apricot is renowned to endow you with vitamin A, antioxidants, calcium, iron and vitamin C. Raisin is full of vitamins and dates will give you the necessary fibre count, along with energy. Hence, such a healthy dessert fix with a delicious flavour combination is impossible not to make again and again.
