Oats & Jelly Pudding / Kheer

          A new creation from my kitchen. After preparing oats pudding, I thought why not add in some jelly. So here you go. It turned out some sort of a mix-n-match dessert. So thought of sharing this delicious concoction which surprisingly, was very yummy with just the right amount of sweetness for me. It is ideal for an after-meal dessert. So go ahead and give it a try and serve them chilled.

• 2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/2 packet of jelly crystals
• 1 tsp. ghee
• 1 tsp. sugar or to taste
• 1/4 tsp. cardamom powder
• few cherries to garnish
• 1 tsp. sliced pistachios to garnish

           Prepare the jelly as per the instructions. After it cools down, allow it to set in the refrigerator.

          Heat the ghee in a pan and fry the oats for a minute or till you get a nice aroma. Add the milk, sugar and cardamom powder and simmer on a medium flame till it is slightly thick. 

          When it cools down slightly, add in the jelly and combine. Transfer into individual bowls / glasses and garnish with cherries and sliced pistachios. Chill to serve.
