Tricolor Poha Pudding - Independence Day Dessert, Kids delight Event Announcement

Wishing all my readers a very Happy Independence Day. For the first time in my blogging years , I m posting a tricolor dessert for this occasion. Thanks to few blogger friends and you-tubers, if not for them, I would have never attempted to post one.

I m in the final leg of my annual vacation, sitting at MTR Singapore, I m drafting this post. Some might not understand this feel, but any passionate food person can connect with this. Though i finished cooking, clicking and the video a week before, drafting the post alone, i kept it for last.

About today's post, a tricolor poha pudding, Simple to make Dessert with veggies for the coloring. I have added a drop of food color to the kheer , but this can be completely avoided. This kheer, is one of the best way to make your lil ones eat veggies, if they are fuzzy eaters, particularly of carrots and green peas.

I served this pudding for a get together last week and none could identify that, the green layer is made of peas. Just make sure, you cook the peas for few minutes before you purée them. A beautiful dessert that tastes amazing and makes a great attraction to your dinner table too.

Here is the Video on How to make this Tricolor Poha Pudding

Method

In a heavy bottom kadai/pan, dry roast poha for 2-3 minutes for it to turn crisp. Keep the flame in simmer, take care not to burn the poha. Once done, remove the poha to a flat plate,
Let it cool, add cardamom to it and grind it to a fine powder. Keep aside until use.
In a heavy bottom pan, heat milk, once it starts to boil, reduce the flame and add the powdered poha. Mix well and let this cook for 8-10 minutes for the poha to cook well.
Once the poha cooks, add condensed milk , mix well and let this sit on the flame for another 8-10 minutes for the Khmer to thicken.
Once done, remove the Kheer from stove, and divide it into 3 equal portions.

Let us make the orange layer.

Take chopped carrots in a a microwave-safe bowl, add milk and saffron to it. Microwave cook it at power 80 for 3-4 minutes.
Remove and let it cool, grind it to a fine paste in a mixer. Add 2 drops of orange food color and mix well.Take and keep aside until use.

Now in a flat pan, heat ghee, once it melts, add the peas-pistachios purée to it and sauté for 8-10minutes. Keep the flame summer and sauté. Do not hurry this step as the peas might taste raw if not sautéed well.

I m hosting August month's kids delight, an event hosted by Srivalli. The theme for this month's kids delight is hide and seek with veggies.

As a mother and a food blogger how much ever tasty and healthy I cook, there are certain veggies that my kids don't like and how much ever I cajole them, they are not ready to taste it. So the best thing I do is mask it in to their favorite dishes.
