Raoh Ki

Kheer

: Sugarcane Rice Dessert With Nuts & Cardamom

Raoh ki kheer is a lesser-known regional dessert where sugarcane juice replaces milk, giving the dish a deep, earthy sweetness. The flavour feels closer to jaggery-based sweets but with a fresher, grassy note that comes directly from the cane juice. Often prepared during harvest seasons, this traditional sugarcane kheer reflects how local ingredients shape everyday cooking. The addition of lassi helps balance the sweetness while also clarifying the juice during cooking, resulting in a smoother texture. What makes Raoh ki kheer stand apart is its layered texture: soft rice grains, crunchy peanuts, and mild cardamom aroma. It is not overly thick like regular kheer, which makes it lighter and easier to enjoy after a heavy meal.
