BENAAMI KHEER

 The name of The Benaami Kheer  itself shows the royalty of the dish which was  First served in the MUGHAL'S KITCHEN.The kheer was evidently named as Benaami because the main ingredient of the dish was unknown to everyone except the Khansama(cook).

But what if I tell you that the main ingredient of this kheer was GARLIC/LEHSUN.Yes!You read it right,the Benaami kheer was  made with garlic.

To supress the pungent smell,the Khansama used to soak the garlic in vinegar or boiling the garlic 2-3 times and changing the water in each cycle,boiling it in the water until the sweetened milk does not turrn creamier.

Its fragnance enhanced by garnishing it with dry fruits,saffron and rose water.But due to its time consuming preparation,this dish lost its authenticity and THE BENAAMI KHEER lost its identity in the present.

Thank you for reading,Be the part of my journey to know more  about such food dishes.
