Mahashivratri Vrat Recipes: How To Make Kheer From Amaranth/Rajgira/Ramdana Grains
Mahashivratri is around the corner; along with observing fast for the day, the day is also great for trying out some new 'vrat special recipes' which you can opt to have during the fasting period or even after that.
Here is a recipe made from Rajgira grains, also known as Amaranth grains or Ramdana. It is an 8000-year-old grain cultivated from Amaranth plants. The grains usually look pale cream but can be darker like light brown. Botanically, Rajgira is a seed and is classified as a pseudocereal, unlike rice and wheat which are considered true cereals.
As during fasting consumption of non-grains or non-cereals are restricted, Rajgira makes for a wonderfully healthy option and an alternative to grains during religious festivals. Also, the grain is gluten-free, high in energy and high in nutrients like protein, magnesium, fibre, calcium, iron, potassium and phosphorus.
Take a look at the recipe.
