Kheer Komola is a Bengali Orange pudding, made by reducing milk and adding fresh Orange segments to it. It is a variant of Rabdi but adding the orange segments gives it a nice twist. The citric orange segments cuts the sweetness of the kheer and balances it so well. Kheer Komola is not only rich but also fresh.
Ingredients
2 ltrs – Whole milk
2 Tbsp – Sugar (vary as per your taste)
1/4 cup – Fresh orange juice
Segments of 3 oranges , some broken into smaller pieces and some bigger for topping.

Switch off the flame and cool the reduced milk completely.
Once the milk reaches room temperature, stir in the orange juice.
Add the smaller bits of orange segments and give the kheer a good mix.
Refrigerate the kheer for at least 4 hours.
Garnish the chilled kheer with bigger orange segments and chopped pistachios before serving.
