Sweet Corn Kheer | Makai Kheer

sweet corn kheer recipe - easy and delicious Indian style creamy sweet corn dessert

Sweet corn kheer / makai kheer recipe – a delicious Indian style creamy sweet corn dessert. This easy sweet dish recipe uses fresh corn or makai and milk. Kheer or payasam is one of my favorite desserts that is perfect for any festive occasion. While rice is generally used to make kheer, there are so many other variations using fruits or vegetables like this corn kheer.

The combination of corn with thickened milk is absolutely delicious and cardamom adds a nice flavor to the kheer. I like simple and quick desserts that don’t need much effort. This sweet corn kheer is easy and tastes great when served warm or chilled.

Sweet corn has vitamin C and is a good source of dietary fiber while milk is rich in calcium.
