Chhath Puja will be performed by offering evening Arghya on 19th November and morning Arghya on 20th November. So let us tell you the recipe for Jaggery Kheer which you can make easily.
Ingredients for making jaggery kheer
1 cup basmati rice
1 liter full cream milk
1 cup grated jaggery
1/2 cup mixed dry fruits (almonds, cashews, raisins)
1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
a pinch of saffron
Recipe
Rinse the basmati rice under running water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for about 15-20 minutes.
Heat a small amount of ghee in a pan. Fry the mixed dry fruits until they turn golden brown. Now keep it aside.
Cook rice and milk in a brass vessel. Let it cook slowly on low flame. When the rice becomes soft and the milk thickens, then understand that the halwa is ready.
Now add dry fruits to it. You can also add saffron to it. After this, remove the halwa from the flame. Keep in mind that jaggery should never be added to boiling kheer. The milk curdles. When the halwa cools down a bit, add jaggery to it and mix until it dissolves well. Kheer is ready for Prasad.
