Orange Kheer is also known as Komola Kheer or Kamlalebu Kheer from the Eastern region of India especially West Bengal and Assam. One of the many kheer recipes from India, this easy dessert is made with fresh oranges, milk, cardamom powder and dry fruits. Orange kheer is dessert recipe which not many people are aware of.
It is one dessert that I grew up eating on a regular basis as my mother had a forte in making this kheer. It is her signature dish! She made it often for celebrations or a festival or just because we felt like eating a dessert. I do not have a sweet tooth, but orange kheer was one of the desserts I absolutely enjoyed as it has a freshness of the oranges which makes it light.
Orange Kheer is served cold. It can be made quickly and easily with just a few ingredients. Kheer is indeed the perfect dish to celebrate a festival or just prepare it as dessert at home after a hearty dinner especially this orange kheer!
