A dish that tells its story — Kheer reviewed

You can taste history in Kheer if you know what to look for. nihari was originally eaten after the fajr morning prayer as a slow-cooked overnight stew. The warming and hearty character reflects those layers — whole garam masala doesn't appear by accident; it came from a specific tradition.

The a family Eid feast setting made sense of it. You understand the food differently when the context is right. chai alongside is part of that story. Some food is just fuel. Kheer, properly made, is something more. This version told the story well.
