 Foxtail Millet Kheer for the family to enjoy a healthy & yummy dessert together
We all know kids can crave for donuts, cakes, chocolates, other processed sweets etc. every now and then. But if we just give up to these cravings, they will only keep getting bigger!
Â
Instead, provide them alternative healthy traditional sweets that you can make easily at home. A kheer made from foxtail millets is one such substitute that can be offered to kids, guilt-free. They will definitely understand that yes, homecooked desserts can be yummy, fun and genuinely help them become stronger, over time.
