Anshu's Food Odyssey

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and this time I thought of giving my husband a delicious surprise by making for him his favorite Indian Dessert , the very humble and yummilicious rice kheer flavored with a little hint of rose and cardamom. Well, that is not all ! this rice kheer will be served in these beautiful red velvet cookie tart shells to lend that special romantic touch to a wonderful evening. If you too are looking for some special fusion recipes to impress your valentine on the special day, then I bet there can't be a better one than this. Do give it a try !!

Options are simply endless, you just need to wear your thinking caps and get going !!      Rose Kheer Tarts with Red Velvet Cookie Crust | Indian Rice Pudding in Red Velvet Cookie Tarts Rose Kheer Tarts with R...
