A lot of people compare kheer to rice pudding, but I think they’re totally different. Kheer is so much better. The ghee and the cardamom give kheer a completely different flavor. Now that I no longer eat dairy or gluten, I decided to attempt a Paleo Kheer using spaghetti squash strands in place of vermicelli and coconut milk in place of regular milk. It was so good – truly. Rob can vouch for me. He ate a big bowl of it and when he was done, I told him there was spaghetti squash in his dessert. He was shocked. Sometimes, I wonder if going paleo has made my tastebuds different from the rest of the world, which is why I’m glad I have my non-paleo hubby to taste test for me. While it’d be great if he ate paleo all the time for his health, at least he’s useful in this way (just kidding, babe!). So, he liked it. He liked it a lot, which makes me think that you’ll like it too – whether or not you’re into paleo. Like this recipe? Pin it to your favorite Pinterest board now so you will remember to make it later!
