Diabetes Friendly Bakheer Recipe

DR. ANUPAM GHOSE, MBBS, Diabetes Care & Education Specialist

Preparation of Rice: Start by washing the brown rice and soaking it in water. After soaking, drain the water from the rice.

Pressure Cooking: Place the soaked rice in a pressure cooker along with the thick dates paste and water. Cook the mixture until you hear 4 to 5 whistles. Allow the pressure to release naturally before opening the cooker lid.

Mashing the Rice: Once the pressure is released, open the cooker lid and gently mash the cooked rice.

Preparing Milk Mixture: While the rice is cooking, bring the vegan milk plus water to a boil, then switch off the flame.

Roasting Dry Fruits: In a separate kadhai, dry roast cashew nuts and raisins until they turn golden brown, enhancing their flavor.

Combining Ingredients: Add the boiled vegan milk plus water, roasted dry fruits, stevia, and green cardamom powder to the mashed rice mixture. Mix all the ingredients well to create a flavorful and creamy Bakheer.

Serving: Serve the hot Bakheer, providing a delightful and nutritious dessert option that combines the goodness of brown rice, dates, and dry fruits with the aromatic touch of cardamom.
