About


This delicious and creamy sweet treat is made with brown rice which is a wholegrain and a much healthier option than the white rice.
  * To add extra flavors,  heat 2 tsp of ghee (clarified butter) in a wok and fry the nuts for a minute. Add the ghee along with the nuts over the cooked dessert.
    * The same dessert can be made with the normal white rice, brown rice gives health benefits and a nutty aroma to the dessert.
Serve this brown rice dessert hot or cold after the meals.
