Nungu /Ice Apple Kheer

If anyone of you think who will make kheer / payasam with nungu instead of eating it as such.. Well.. last week I went to pondy, I ate so much nungu up and down while travelling. I bought a big parcel too. I ate so much that I wanted to make something else with it and finish it, as it won’t stay long fresh.

Ingredients:

·         Nungu / Ice apple – 6 pieces (Skin removed)

·         Milk – 2 cups

·         Sugar / palm sugar – as per taste

·         Rose Milk essence – 1 tbsp  (Optional)

·         Saffron Strands – few

·         Cardamom powder – ¼ tsp

Method:

Boil the milk and cool completely. Keep it aside.

Peel the skin of the Nungu.

3 pieces, we will grind. 3 pieces we will chop finely.

Take the hard ones for grinding and use the soft ones for chopping. I dint take the picture of ground nungu. Please imagine this step here :).

Take the milk in a bowl, add the ground nungu, chopped nungu, sugar, rose milk essence, Saffron Strands and Cardamom powder.

Mix them well. Refrigerate for few hours and serve.

Note:

·         Instead of Rose milk essence, you can add rose essence too. But check the quantity.
