Oats Mango Kheer Recipe with step-by-step instructions, pics, and recipe card-Oats Mango Kheer is an easy Indian dessert made with milk, quick-cooking oats, and mangoes with the goodness of nuts.

My husband loves oats, when I first experimented with this recipe I was surprised myself that an oats kheer could be so delicious.

The quick-cooking oats cooked in milk, flavored with saffron and cardamom powder along with the sweetness of sugar and mango turn into a rich, creamy and healthier Indian dessert that is easy to make at home

For Mango lovers, there is an extra advantage of having lip-smacking mango in a healthy version of kheer made with oats.

In this easy Indian dessert recipe

• Make sure to dry roast quick-cooking oats for 1-2 minutes before making kheer as it enhances the taste and texture of the kheer.
• The kheer is a healthier version made from oats and can be made with low-fat milk also.
• Take brown sugar or honey instead of white sugar if you wish to.
• I have used Alphonso mango in the recipe. However, you can take Banganapalli or Kesar mango also.

How to make oats mango kheer

1. Firstly, dry roast 4 tsp quick-cooking oats in a deep bottom pan on low flame. 

2. After approximately 1-2 minutes, it will turn fragrant.

3. Add 2 cups of milk to the oats at this stage and stir it.

4. Let the oats get cooked in the milk for 5-7 minutes. Keep stirring it to prevent the milk from sticking at the bottom.

5. Take out 1.5 tbsp milk from the pan into a bowl and soak a pinch of saffron in it.

6. When oats look almost cooked in thickened milk then add saffron milk to it.

8. Continue boiling the milk with saffron and oats for a few minutes while stirring in between.

8. Further, add 1/4 cup sugar to the oats’ milk.

9. After a few minutes, the sugar will dissolve in the milk, and saffron will give its beautiful color to the kheer.

10. Additionally, add 8 golden raisins, 4 chopped cashews, and 4 chopped pistachios in the milk. Further, add 1/2 tsp cardamom powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes, and switch off the gas. Let it cool down.

11. Take 1 alphonso mango, peel, and chop. It is 3/4 cup approximately. Add this to a blender with 1/4 cup water.

12. I have not added sugar to make puree as the mango is naturally sweet and added some sugar to the oats kheer.

13. Add this mango puree to the oats kheer (at room temperature) and mix well.

14. Keep oats mango kheer in the fridge for cooling. Pour kheer in the serving bowl of your choice and garnish with some cashews, almonds, and pistachio pieces and serve cold.
