Alphonso Mango & Fox Nuts Porridge

A porridge or "kheer" is best eaten chilled.

The season of mangoes is a treat for HEALTHY dessert lovers. That is because the sweetness of sugar can be replaced by just adding a good quantity of juicy naturally ripened mangoes. Just like in this recipe we have not used any sugar. Of course while serving this delectable dessert you can add a drizzle of maple syrup or honey to your liking.
