Orange kheer is an edible journey worth taking. Called Komlalebur payesh or komola kheer in Bengali and santre ki kheer in Hindi, the kheer recipe is simple to make and requires few ingredients, and is so much lighter than most other kheers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kheer is a mainstay of Indian festivals. I don\u2019t think there's ever a year I don\u2019t make kheer in some form. So, when I say that orange kheer is one of the best, I mean it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One spoon of this creamy kheer komola, and you automatically sink into that luxurious after-dinner mood where thoughts begin to roam gracefully free of the trammels of our noisy minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IS KOMOLA KHEER?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kamla lebu is orange in Bengali, or as my household knows it \u2013 santra. Payesh is kheer<\/a>. So, Komlalebur payesh is basically a kheer (milk pudding) made out of oranges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like chena murki<\/a>, this fruit is also a popular Bengali sweet dish and is often made at the start of winter\u2019s grip when the seasonal fruit floods the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the taste and texture of orange kheer are refreshing, full of citrusy brightness that makes you pause and then puts you in the most cheerful mood. Considering that it\u2019s ridiculously easy to make, the kheer is heavenly on the palate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
