How To Make Custard Apple (Sharifa) Kheer | Custard Apple Kheer Recipe
The recipe of Custard Apple Kheer is quite similar to any other kheer recipe you may have prepared. However, the taste is more interesting and unique. Start the recipe by bringing milk to a boil in a thick-bottomed pan. Let the milk reduce significantly and now add the washed and soaked basmati rice. Once this concoction reduces further, add sugar and let it dissolve. Next, mix in the dry fruits and finally add deseeded custard apple.
Although custard apple is best enjoyed chilled, you can relish the custard apple kheer both hot and cold. Savour this wonderful dessert and make the most of Sharifa while it lasts!
