About the Recipe

Many people in India abstain from consuming grains during certain days like Navratri, Shivratri, Janamashtami or Ekadashi. Sama Rice Kheer is made with Sama rice or Barnyard Millet during the fasting days, along with other fasting food or vrat ka khana like Sabudana Khichdi, Kuttu ke Ka Paratha/Poori etc.

Sama rice kheer tastes not only delicious just like Chawal ki Kheer/Rice Pudding but is also light on stomach and easily digestible. It can be given to all age groups from toddlers to seniors in the house.

Sama Rice Kheer is Gluten-free and Vegan Friendly and can be made easily in a pan or even in your IP.

What is Sama Rice/Barnyard Millet

Sama Rice or Barnyard Millet, a gluten free grain(millet), that is consumed in India especially during fasting days as a substitute for Rice. The grain is smaller in size, but the cooked grain tastes like rice. It is one of the nutritious grains which is rich in protein, fibre and carbohydrate. The gruel of Sama rice can be given to babies.

Sama Rice Pulao, Sama Rice Kheer are common dishes made with it. Nowadays people also make Sama Rice Dosa and Idlis. You can also make cutlets with potatoes or sweet potatoes and many other delectable dishes using this grain along with gluten-free flours or other ingredients used during fasting days.

Sama Rice Kheer for Navaratri

Chaitra Navratri falls in the month of March or April. It is a nine day long fasting period for Hindus in India, where they fast and worship nine forms Goddess Durga. Many people fast for 2 days and many for full 8 or 9 days. During this time the weather starts getting too hot especially in North India majority of people keep fasts. So if while fasting you want something cool, filling and refreshing then make this kheer. Chill in refrigerator for a couple of hours and eat.
