Kharna Gud Ki Kheer Recipe: Along with worship, traditional dishes also have special importance in the festival of Chhath. In this festival which lasts for four days, the day of Kharna is considered very special. On this day, after fasting the whole day, the devotees perform puja in the evening and eat the prasad of jaggery kheer. This kheer made from milk, rice and jaggery is very delicious in taste. It is also quite easy to make it at home. Let us know the easy method of making jaggery kheer for Kharna.

Special kheer is made on Kharna

Kharna is celebrated on the second day of Chhath Puja. On this day, after evening puja, devotees eat jaggery kheer and roti. In many places this kheer is also called Rasiya. It is prepared in the traditional way.

Ingredients for making jaggery kheer

• To make this, take one liter full cream milk, 50 grams small grained rice and 100 grams jaggery.
• Apart from this, keep 4 to 5 green cardamoms, some cashew nuts, almonds, raisins and grated dry coconut.

Make kheer in this easy way

• First of all, wash the rice thoroughly and soak it in water for 20 minutes.
• Now pour milk in a thick bottomed vessel and boil it.
• When the milk boils, add soaked rice into it.
• Lower the flame and let the kheer cook.

• Keep stirring it occasionally, so that the rice does not stick to the bottom.
• When the rice melts well and the milk starts thickening, then add cardamom, cashews, almonds and raisins to it.
• Cook it for a few more minutes.

Be careful while adding jaggery

After the kheer is cooked, turn off the gas and let it cool down a little. Keep in mind that do not add jaggery directly into boiling milk, as it may curdle the milk. When the kheer remains slightly warm, add small pieces of jaggery to it and mix well. If you want, you can dissolve jaggery in water and then add it to kheer after filtering. In this way the delicious Prasad of Kharna will be prepared. Accept it after offering it in puja.
