PUMPKIN KHEER
Pumpkin is a fiber rich vegetable with lots of vitamin A and is fewer in calories. A cup full of mashed pumpkins provide more potassium than banana which is good for muscles and maintaining high blood pressure. This Pumpkin kheer is a yummy kheer made with pumpkins and is flavored with cardamom.
Pumpkin kheer can be made by grating or mashing the pumpkins. I have used the grated pumpkins which gives a grainy texture.
