There are few Indian desserts that are as ubiquitously found across the diverse culinary traditions in the subcontinent as Kheer. From chawal to sabudana, kheer recipes are as diverse as the Indian cuisine itself. One of the lesser-known but equally delicious variations of this dessert is found in Uttar Pradesh’s Lucknow region. Dubbed the Lucknowi Gulatthi Kheer, it has a distinct flavour that sets it apart from the rest of the kheer types, and yet, offers the same familiarity of the beloved dessert that makes it so comforting!
